That’s a cool take on it. I feel like I just haven’t found a solid hobby that’s fun to me. I’ve tried several, the only things that have partially stuck are video games, programming, and DND, but they still feel like a chore to keep learning.

I’m exactly the same. Hobbies just don’t stick, and I can’t commit to the grind of getting better at them.

Have you been diagnosed with adhd by chance? I haven’t, but I suspect it’s one symptom.

Like others, being on Lemmy dragged me away from the constant stream of endless gratification. I still check it a few times a day, at most, but much less than Reddit.

What Reddit still has over Lemmy is a huge database of answers. While many people have left Reddit or moved on, their comments stayed, and that includes many searchable and genuine answers.

It also has more communities. Game devs still use Reddit to host a lite web page (subreddit) for example. While the fediverse has many communities, alot of them are duplicates. Every instance has their own Memes community for example, which pollutes the feed sometimes.

In the last year, I’ve made less than 5 posts on Reddit, mostly asking questions. I don’t browse it, I just end up on it from search results.

I wish the fediverse agreed on unique communities. It’s cool that I can communicate with several different websites, but imagine if there was 5 reddit.com’s and they all made their own memes subreddits. Either you have to subscribe to all of them and get duplicate memes, or you sub to one and miss out of 4x more.

Because those 5 reddits are all divided, so is the potential user base. I’m not saying we should go back to a single website, but rather that each website in the fediverse hosts one major community.

Alternatively, have an instance that merges all the other instances’ communities so that all the meme communities appear as one, and all duplicates are filtered out.

Tipping housekeepers is not the norm. You shouldn’t feel obligated to tip, ever.

Why would you want to lengthen a url?

Yes.

On a forum, I was complaining about a troll and his friend roasting something i made, they responded with a picture of a baby crying. Moderators did nothing. It ruined my week. I was like 16 at the time.

I would say: write down your task before you are pulled aside. Do this each time you are pulled aside, then work through tasks in reverse order.

Mosquito candles.

Mosquito repellant.

Occasionally

Similar theory. That’s usually how I find out a poster is trolling. I ask for clarification and they double down on their original post

Memes: upvote if I find it funny

Text posts:

• upvote if agree
• do nothing if disagree, but the post is valid
• downvote if OP is trolling, or rude, or otherwise makes me uncomfortable

But, there are exceptions

Upvotes and downvotes, but also add the YouTube lightsaber which shows the ratio?

Sounds like you’re describing dissociation. I’d talk to a therapist if possible. It might be triggered by trauma or other condition as someone else mentioned.

That happened to me with the Mario movie. I was the only one in the theatre for that particular time

But if a little cancer can trick your immune system into fighting cancer, then we’re back to a good doctor again.

Ability to filter out political posts. I’ve blocked a few communities, but politics still invades things like news, memes, etc.

It’s impossible to completely block it, I’m just saying hypothetically, if I could remove everything remotely political, I would.

• Minecraft, sometimes.
• Garden of the Sea, when I first played it
• Walkabout mini golf
