Less stuff actually made me check it less, which is healthier. But I also don’t feel like there’s much more enjoyment, probably because I used smaller specific subs more often. I also waste some of that earned time on Youtube, so overall, I have a bit less wasted time and that’s it.

You know, the weird part is? I got two followers, and one of them was a guy I messaged earlier when asking if he’d post his content elsewhere. (I mentioned lemmy as an option) Well, the profile was different - instead of being “XXX YYY”, the one that followed me was “Alternate YYY”, so I assumed it was an alt. He didn’t message me back on the old nor this account, and when I tried to visit it said “this account name doesn’t exist”. He keeps posting and is probably neutral about this whole thing, but it’s just, odd why he’d use an alt right then and then delete it or have it banned (maybe he promoted lemmy or protested on it, idk, I brought up lemmy in a post title on a smaller sub but it got banned by “the mods of r/sub”. My account is fine tho)

The small videogame dedicated subs are the reason I’m still hesitant about leaving Reddit completely, but on the other hand, it would be entertaining to watch another big site burn lemmy grow, and it’s not like I contributed much besides occasional comments. I might browse by top every few months or so to see what I missed.

Frankly, right now I’m mostly doing this to spite Reddit. I’ll probably use both interchangably later, for the smaller subs that won’t suffer much.
