I think I've finally gotten to the point on here where I'm following all if not most of the communities I'm interested in that are poppin on Lemmy right now.

Currently just hanging out on my couch, re-watching early episodes of The Simpsons, and reading articles online like its 2009. There's something about browsing nothing but people speaking with no ads, no boosts, just all genuine conversations.

Anybody else feeling satisfied with their fediverse instances? Any favorite epsiodes of The Simpsons? :)

So far, same. I've been using social media here like it was originally designed, with real social interaction happening lol.

I agree with you, it feels great to have genuine conversions with folks without the constant feed distractions, obvious karma farming, and non-stop ads every few scrolls.

As for the Simpsons, I haven't watched enough to have an opinion yet haha. What are your top recommendations?

Now that you mention it, it is super nice not getting any ads. I'm digging this, I might not go back to the other site.

Even using ad block on most everything, some stuff still leaks through. It's so refreshing once that's all gone, I don't think I can go back either.

The lack of tracking is also nice. I've found it to destroy the performance on my older tablet, and Kbin, while also not entirely lightweight, does run surprisingly well for what is basically a modern social network. It's got some minor issues, but it's fairly usable.

Feels like thats what a lot of people are experiencing right now. Super fun stuff!

Tbh I haven't watched much either. I just hopped on Disney+ this morning, hit play on the first episode available, and I haven't turned it off since. I like that this show has a lot of heart and family values, something I don't really see in TV today without being completely on the nose.

Totally! And lol yeah, feels fun to watch, especially the earlier episodes. I quote a lot of Simpsons lines even though I've watched far more snippets and compilations than full episodes haha.
