Yeah, I had thought most people here recognized that the end was 3 years ago, if not longer, but I'm happy they're at least being forced to commit now. You don't need the endless stream of slop that is Reddit. Spend 30 minutes going through the last 6 hours of Lemmy posts, then go do something else instead.

Browse All. I never did this on Reddit but it’s the only thing I do here.

I used Reddit for over a decade and quit cold turkey when the API got removed. Nothing has given me the same feeling since, but frankly Reddit hasn’t either for maybe half of those years.

The site grew up alongside me and was an important thing for me to learn about tons and tons and tons of new things.

Lemmy has less content, and that’s okay. Open Lemmy, run out of content, like just finish for the day and then get up and do something else. We have about 75 years of functional brains give or take, your life won’t be meaningfully enriched by throwing an extra two hours a day into a link aggregator.

Welcome to the community community. Nothing will be the same as early Reddit and especially not Reddit, so don’t chase that high. You’ll be fine

Just keep subscribing to things :)

We have this guide for how to do that more easily:

What I’ve found is with Lemmy there just isn’t enough community content to browse based on subscriptions like I did on Reddit.

I browse All or Local and block(or ignore) communities that don’t interest me.

I like to browse All to find all the random communities around here. I don't know Voyager specifically, but you can usually just go to a community page and click submit. There's one that posts new (and I think) trending communities - I'll come back with an edit

Edit: !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Just know if you post to a new and even empty outside of you community here you are likely to get comments still, reddit your posts get lost in to the void

I remember signing up for Reddit in my middle school library, way back when we were all still shitting on digg. It's wild to have seen it fall so far.

Start posting content to /c's you're interested in.

It's also worth signing up to a few other instances and looking around as you're going to be exposed to communities that you'd otherwise miss what with the various federation between platforms and whatnot. Piefed is a good one as it autosubscribes you to a fuck ton of /c's right off the bat.

Unfortunately I need to sign-in to use old reddit now. Haven't made a reddit account yet and it looks like I'm giving up lurking and checking random reddit links from a web search over starting now.

Best to use it with Firefox, along with RES and uBlock Origin.

New cookies, probably.

Sites are getting better at frustrating users who remove elements from pages, so I expect that Reddit would have implemented the latest tech.

But perhaps more importantly, this is about mobile, not desktop, so there's no uBO anyway.

Edit: Didn't read my source properly at all. My bad.
