Right now the user count Lemmys is comparatively tiny when held up against reddit - but the user count isn't the thing that makes a social media site, it's the engagement

So even if you're used to lurking, try to get a little more active! Post memes, vote on posts, talk in the comments, whatever!

If people come here and see activity, content, and discussions, they're more likely to stay and contribute their own - if they come and see a ghost town, they'll just go back to reddit

Holy shit that's amazing! I really need to step up my game.

My screentime for reddit was like, 30 hours a week before this week.

I probably should've quit link aggregation sites altogether. Would've been more healthy. It's like a part time job lmao.

They've truly fucked up by messing with the few users like you that basically hold the site together. Welcome, and remember to spend time doing healthy activities, will you? ;)

*remembers my actual job being a truck driver working 6 days a week*

I mean idk how long youve done it for but if it hasnt killed you then it cant be that bad for you.

I'm in my 20's, there's plenty of time lol. Just a lot of sitting. And way too many hours working a week, plus an ever changing schedule resulting in terrible sleep.

And admittedly this is a nice passive way to decompress after a work day

Wow. You just made me check and I was on reddit for 14 hours a week. Hopefully the fediverse won't be as addictive (so far is not looking good)

Goodbye, Reddit addiction!

Hello, Lemmy addiction.

Here before the low-effort Reddit content floods the Fediverse. 🍻

I don’t use Screen Time for this exact reason. I don’t wanna know how much I used Reddit, and I don’t wanna know how much time I’ll spend on Lemmy.

I thought Rogers was strictly Canadian, but you moderate Houston Texans community?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Lol, it had nothing to do with Rogers the telecom company. That's just the URL I happened to own for personal reasons.

Holy smokes 84 comments? You must have commenting superpowers or something

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

135 by my count. (Just means I've been commenting in communities that your instance hasn't discovered yet)

Edit: instance, not insurance lmao
