I like the vibe of the message, no clue what is is the opinion here though.

I've tried it, but it only does the easy half of the job. It is a nice place to gather all the feeds, but there is no way to share it on a specific Lemmy community, does it?

Oh, not the same. I'm talking about an app that would work like a feed reader + share button. Remember Google Buzz? Something like it.

Help a brother out... Wnat is the name?

Automatically, I mean. Is there an app that lets me read reddit stuff and post to the equivalent fediverse communities?

What I want is a way to read content from the different places and then share stuff here.

If it's really only 3 minutes in the hour, maybe it's not so bad after all? If you are annoyed by the behavior, maybe just look for a way to nudge them out of it. Tell them that the first to reach for their phones has to pay the next round. You don't get to be preachy about it, but it forces them to be conscious about the habit.

People only get "less addicted" if they want to or if they are getting their dopamine from some healthier alternatives. If you meet your friends and they all prefer to scroll IG for 1h instead of talking with each other, you need to find more more interesting things to do together.

What is a "low-quality community",.something arbitrarily decided by the instance admin?

I like the idea for "managing conflict", but to me it seems that the other measures are more of "fight fire with fire" type of thing. Things don't have to be so polarizing and polarized.

It's hard to compare with cars because cars/fuel/highways are seriously subsidized.

Nah... the problem is not the vacation "overseas" but the amount of domestic flights that could have been avoided if we had a proper (fast, cheap, comfortable) rail network.

How many flights do we have between, e.g, Boston-New York, LA-San Francisco, Dallas-Houston, Chicago-any city in the midwest? Thousands of flights that are less than 3 hours in duration, but we have to take it by plane. Maaaybe some of them could be made by bus, but buses are slow and super cramped.

Now imagine if we had good train service. Even if we were not talking about bullet trains, if you count the time it takes to board/deboard + the time it takes to get to airport to the city, there is a good chance that the train travel would take less total time.
