Unfortunately the communities that I’m interested in didn’t really move. I tried very hard to just quit Reddit cold turkey, but instead I’ve dialed it back to only 4-5 core topics that I’m interested in. For general doomscrolling I mostly use Apple News now. I check Lemmy every day or two but it’s hard to get stuck in when the discussions I’m interested in aren’t really flourishing here. Hopefully it grows over time.

yep i have been a sodium citrate convert since i watched an adam ragusea video on the topic. https://piped.video/watch?v=KcM_MZoJWOo

i picked up a bag off amazon for cheap and it really is magic.

The whole point of federation is that you don’t have to pick just one place. You can add communities from nsfw instances, communities from nerd tv instances, communities from your geographic locality, etc…

Same here. Lemmy is rising quickly though, I have no doubt it will be a sufficient Reddit replacement soon enough. I’ve been using Apple News as my “read over breakfast” app. I already pay for the sub anyway, and once I set it up with a bunch of sources/topics I was interested in, it became a pretty good reading experience.
