I notice myself checking it less and less due to the post sorting algorithm being infuriating. E.g. I’m sorting by “Top 6 Hours” and this post from 7 months ago is in my feed

Edit: and since I’ve now commented on this post, it’ll likely bubble into other people’s feeds and they’ll be just as confused as I was

[–] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have it sort by New Comments, so yes, ha.

Also, I check it every five seconds. But it's true that there's not enough content for that to make sense. I feel restless on my phone.

[–] lohrun@fediverse.boo 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do too, ever since losing Apollo I’ve struggled to find something to fill that void. Ive tried various social media sites over the last couple of months but nothing has really stuck. Honestly not sure what to do or try at this point

[–] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably focused breathing and leaving our phones somewhere else for a few hours a day.

Maybe.

I think that’s the nicest way someone has ever said “touch grass” lol. I will agree though, losing access to Reddit made me realize how much mindless scrolling I would do on there. It’s difficult to see all of our comfy corners of the web crumble around us and not know what to do about it

Not often enough. I need to remind myself that reddit is a ridiculously ⬜ space that is so far from being genuinely understanding of the shit POCs deal with. I actually feel bad for not going on Lemmy as much-- I just wish the site was more popping.

[–] fit6529@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

You may set up a random redirect :) For example reddit.com redirects to lemmy.ml every time with probability 1/3. Or redirect with a switch. The last option is easy to set up, there are extensions for this.

Evidently not :(

[–] AgreeableLandscape@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Many times a day. It has almost completely replaced Reddit for me.

[–] beastman@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

Got any good community suggestions?

[–] i18nde@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Me too, several times a day. Always something interesting to find.

[–] arthur@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

It's part of my daily "What's going on in the world?" list of sites.

[–] Peter1986C@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

About once or twice a day.

[–] belo@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I try to use it more than Reddit because it makes me feel braindead

[–] imgprojts@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use it more than reddit because reddit banned me.

[–] Sexypink@mastodon.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@imgprojts @belo shit. Lol lemmy will ban you to lol

[–] imgprojts@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I can theoretically ban my self on a self hosted instance. I just have to be really annoyed with myself.

[–] imgprojts@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Every few hours or minutes. Specially during lunch time at work and most of my weekend time.

[–] AdaShovelace@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Once or twice a day

[–] bimbam@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

[–] Peter1986C@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago
[–] SoftwareSavior@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

everyday via mastodon

[–] alfredb@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Once a day.

[–] simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Every hour or so, more if there's more conversation

[–] lxvi@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

every few days. More than reddit.

[–] Alanaben123@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty offtenly

[–] peeonyou@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

i don't go to reddit since i found lemmy.. at least not to browse.. for some reason it comes up in searches for things a lot these days, but most often i see reddit on here

i come to lemmy in spurts like i did with reddit.. sometimes multiple times a day sometimes once every other day or so

[–] Owell1984@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

once everyday.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

Every day. I just put the lemmy app in the space of my reddit app and the transition was pretty easy.

[–] thekittencultist@jeremmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Not as much so far as I'm still trying to find communities to join but just joined a few today and got my lemmy client on my phone so should be able to use it much more

[–] Ghast@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Less and less since I've found you can follow a lemmy channel from Mastodon.

I'll be back when /r/latex isn't dead.

[–] Suoko@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago

More and more everyday and would switch to it if I found something like /r/interestingafuck and /r/mapporn

[–] magmaus3@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

In my case, very rarely.

[–] Gbagginsthe3rd@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Really want this to be my bae but struggling to find content and the fediverse is confusing. I don’t know if it’s me or the app.

Now I’m filling my time with YouTube and Firefox focus to avoid too many ads
