I should have just quit reddit without looking for alternatives but here we are
I was about to touch some grass but thankfully Lemmy saved me.
You should still touch grass. It feels good 😊
well, if i was suddenly productive at work, my employer would be suspicious
With reddit shutting down I imagined all the books I was finally going to read, that attic was getting organized, and I was going to start a new hobby…and here I am.
The trouble with reading books is it generally requires a lot of concentration to follow the plot… And I’m mostly trying to relax and usually watch or listen to something in the background while browsing social media, so while I do read a lot of text on reddit/lemmy, those two activities aren’t easily switchable for me.
The trouble with reading books is my libby app keeps kicking me off my library account and i can never remember the pin…
I was going to play some video games yesterday but instead watched subs shut down all day while exploring lemmy. I need help.
How am I supposed to kill time during commute ?
With a knife
I decoded to start my own community so thats a cool time suck
yeah i told myself I’m gonna get off social media and here i am…
if its any consolation, the relatively low volume helps limit my engagement here. I refresh the page, recognise most of the posts, and then realise i need to get off social media.
Well from what I’m seeing as long as we don’t turn it into reddit we can enjoy a much healthier one, like working out vs doing meth.
I like Lemmy, but I feel like a better analogy might be doing weed instead of meth.
Well I did both weed and working out and I can’t say weed is necessarily healthy. I’m such much healthier working out and I used to be a constant daily stoner for 13 years lol. For me at least the experience is closer to a workout than doing any kind of drug as I’m actually socializing and interacting instead of doomscrolling. The lemmy communities have been chiller than a stoner on the beach lol!
ah, fair. I get your point - I still feel like Lemmy draws me in when I could be doing things in real life, and that will only get worse as communities grow and get more active. It’s definitely a more positive place though.
What are we supposed to do, go “outside”?
I mean. You’re welcome to !outside@lemmy.world
Do y’all have any of that “grass” stuff I’m hearing so much about? Apparently it’s fantastic for touching.
I’m allergic. Not so wonderful.
Just gotta get you some of that hypoallergenic grass. Lol
Lol it’s OK, out here it’s more reasonable to xeroscape anyway. Gonna go touch gravel.
I mean… I do. Every single day… animals to feed, plants to care for. Shit to do.
But the sun… it burns…
That’s a direct quote from every Lemmy user.
Same here but I am not complaining. My semester is ending tomorrow so I have plenty of free time
