Guys, I’m starting to think the problem is me…
I totally relate to this. I didn’t like the environment on R*ddit, but here people are much nicer, so the addiction is even worse!
you are breathtaking
No, they’re MetaPhrastes
My only complaint is it’s a bit more meta here, but that’s understandable given its growth and why it grew (reddit’s poor decisions)
Yeah, I wasn’t really using Reddit much before Reddit had its meltdown and the threadiverse exploded onto the scene. I’ve had a lot of fun here. Frankly I think I understand how the threadiverse works more than I understand how Reddit works.
I’ve had a similar experience with Mastodon. Wasn’t a big Twitter user, but now I’m more active on Mastodon than I ever was on Twitter. On each of multiple Mastodon accounts.
Hi!
You’re the problem, it’s you?
At teatime, everybody agrees.
Yeah, i really thought I’d spend a lot less time scrolling without reddit
First couple days, sure… then i started to find more and more axtive communities, and couldn’t help but keep logging in
Feels like going from weed to cocaine. Although I have no idea what it feels like.
Oh man my Lemmy addiction is much stronger because I’m actually participating as opposed to lurking on Reddit.
Same. I stopped frequently commenting on reddit when the site became filled with outrage-bait and various agenda-pushing.
Lemmy feels more user-driven and authentic, so I’m participating a ton more.
How dare you speak for me?..
Bloody hell, I haven’t participated this much for at least a decade.
The vibe here is so good though. I’m really glad to be here.
I’m also glad you’re here.

The positive interaction on Lemmy is what keeps me coming back. On reddit, I have about 15 comments in 10 years.
Hey fuck you and your stupid opinion! I’m smarter and technically correct on this one obscure point that you weren’t making! And it’s spelled “for all intents and purposes,” dipshit!
Crap, sorry. Those Reddit habits die hard.
I have like 400 comments in 5 weeks here across multiple accounts. It’s crazy how non-intimidating commenting feels.
I have like 80,000 total Reddit Karma on an 11-year-old account.
In four weeks on Kbin I’ve already gotten 3,100 reputation. It’s just a much nicer community than Reddit.
It’s the size for sure. I don’t think I’ve ever gone thread to thread and seen the same people on reddit. But her eon the fed, I’m actually surprised to see the same few names pop up here and there.
her eon the fed
… issa manga, right?
It’s… not intimidating? :E
You are doing fine :)
I’m hoping maybe I could get a little confidence back in commenting on things. 10 yrs or more on Reddit and it always felt like it’s either a drop in an echo chamber or immediately rude responses.
this!
I left Reddit because of the enshitification, not the doomscrlling.
The post volume is still much lower, but that isn’t all bad, since the toxicity and quality isn’t as bad and unlimited scroll time isn’t healthy.
Yup Lemmy is going great right now, in a way I’m thankful for spez being such a RETARD because I only found Lemmy from this bs he pulled. I’m sure it’s gonna be bigger than Reddit was
It’s new and fresh, and everyone so nice and friendly, what not to like?)
Take my up vote… now back to scrolling
Remember to comment when you have something you think is interesting to say.
Not shown is the even bigger “Talking about Reddit on Lemmy” leviathan.
There’s always a bigger fish.
I thought Lemmy would just take over my mobile usage, and I would still visit reddit on desktop. Turns out I’m just using Lemmy on both because the vibe here is more fun.
This post has inspired me to go do something productive instead.
…see you in an hour, max.
See you when that moment happens when you mindlessly click on your Lemmy app because you’re bored, and suddenly it’s open again.
O hai.
The prodigal son/daughter/person returns. Welcome back
