My mental state using reddit vs lemmy.
Listen, I like lemmy, but it is turbo-doomer compared to Reddit. I think one of the biggest differences is that the smaller reddit communities that I'd use to escape the doomer shit like /r/furry_irl or /r/polandball just don't really exist here.
It's the opposite for me, actually. I use Lemmy far less than I ever used Reddit, so its easier to actually not feel so addicted.
I gave up Reddit and started on Lemmy, but also started speed cubing. Now when I have time to kill I'll just get my cube out instead of mindlessly scrolling.
I can now on average, solve a Rubik's cube in around 40 seconds.
Just an idea of how much time was consumed scrolling politics on Reddit
Absolutely! I've picked up reading, and finished the first full novel in years for me. I picked Dune, and actually enjoyed it a lot, even if I overall felt myself questioning if Frank ever knew a real woman in his life.
Dune is a damn good book! I lost interest around book 3 though
