Not enought content here to replace all that time saved IMO. At my worst I was browsing Reddit 6+ hours a day. Here, I can't even go 2 hours without seeing the same content..

None of this is a criticism against Lemmy btw

I get what you mean. But I just spread my net wider. Give more communities a chance, and unsubscribe from the ones that aren't what I'm looking for. It's frustrating, but it will improve. And it's better than dealing with reddit.

For me it's actually a good thing to not have the almost infinite stream of content that reddit had because it stops me from doomscrolling for hours on end and leads me to actually doing something

For me, I struggle to find communities to post some types of content in, and I don't really want to create a brand new comm just for a single post.

So I end up not posting those things ๐Ÿซฃ
