    And I haven’t browsed Reddit in all that time. I’ll admit to Google taking me there, but I spent no time nor comments there.

    Its fascinating to me how wonderful the discussion quality and attitude have remained… but its weird that the userbase isnt growing. maybe those of you that are lucky enough to have cool people in your lives should mention it?

        That perfectly describes me. I don’t touch Reddit, got off FB and Instagram years ago, never had Twitter, etc. Lemmy is the only thing I use now, I subscribe to a few dozen communities that get maybe 15 new posts a day combined. If I’m in the mood to waste time on here I’ll see the new posts and hide them as I go. When they run out I’m done for the day. I won’t act like it’s the right move for everyone, but for me personally cutting my social media (or similar) internet usage down to around half an hour a day max has made me a lot happier.

        There is some significant amount of users here that fully / mostly abandoned social media and pretty often are in some kind of a post-reddit-lurker limbo, plus their age is around “I have a partner / family / job / hobbies / things in life I care more about than passionately posting / moderating online”.

        Probably. I’m always surprised by the lack of activity on [email protected], but I guess most parents are probably busing actually parenting

        I wouldn’t say “shit” but rather niche. Most people who would love a Reddit-like place have Reddit and don’t hate it enough to switch, especially since we don’t have extensive hobby communities with long history.

            variation is desperately needed

            I blocked most of those topics, then other stuff starts to appear

              i am curious: since those topics make up such a large portion of the content i see on lemmy, do you find that you get a good number of posts to look through without them? i mostly browse all and find i can get through just about everything i’m interested in clicking on in like 30 minutes per day.

              maybe it is just a symptom of how i browse the internet and my semi-niche interests, but i find the non-linux hobby communities here to be rather lacking. i know the solution is to post to them myself and i try to, but frankly i don’t have that much to post about. it also takes some willpower to keep posting to a 10 person community and get maybe a couple comments every few posts if i’m lucky, but that also could be that my posts aren’t very interesting lol
