I had been feeling a bit drawn in to reddit for the past few months before the divorce. I feel like the slower pace at which content comes out on Lemmy is good for me in that way. I can’t just scroll and scroll and scroll my entire day away.
Does anyone else feel similar?
No, honestly.
I hate that the algorithm is super broken and the only meaningful sort option is “TopDay”, which means Lemmy is only good for me to look at once every day at the same time.
Admittedly, I’m so bored, I open Boost for Reddit for more content.
Really hope more content comes to lemmy before third party apps shut down.
Since the 0.18 update I find that the sorting is working pretty well. I also like that there are now options for Top 1 Hour, Top 6 Hour and Top 12 Hours.
Jerboa needs this added
I agree. I have been using the mobile website again because Jerboa doesn’t have these sorting options.
Agree. I find the slower pace or lack of an algorithm or whatever it is is leading to me opening lemmy, then kbin around once or twice per day (have 2 accounts and slightly different subs between them which is frustrating in itself).
Then I find myself back on reddit for a bit more scrolling, particularly of the communities I haven’t found an alternative for or that are still more active on reddit.
I suspect this will change come July when the Relay app that I use on mobile presumably ceases to function due to the API changes. And my routine will just be kbin/lemmy (hoping for a unified app soon on android). But I’m not sure that’s necessarily a bad thing and might reduce my overall screen time a bit.
Still, I am sad the reddit golden age is effectively over at this point.
Not just relay but all the 3rd party apps. I suspect that most of the people who would’ve made the jump have already done so. There will be more people coming to lemmy though.
Eh - you can join Kbin Magazines with a lemmy account, and Lemmy communities with a Kbin account.
