Switching from Reddit to Lemmy helped me. Reddit is just a hose of brain rot. Refresh, click, refresh, click. Turned into a zombie.
Lemmy I actually post, comment and discuss things with people. Almost feels like I'm waking up from a long coma.
For me it was like remembering how the internet forums felt like in the 90s, before the corps ran the most popular sites. This is much more my vibe than Facebook and that shit.
I tried to switch from Reddit to Lemmy completely, but the communities for the games I play stayed there. I already wrote off Reddit for anything general, but for the games it's a nice source of info. (The subs I'm in are good in self regulating)
I use Lemmy more for general discussions, reading or when available, specific communities (like fountainpens, bass, ...) and when I feel like it, go back to Reddit for the very few subs I'm still interested in, mainly due to lack of info elsewhere. (Facebook account was deleted january 1st, so 2-3 more days and it's really gone) Next to that I'm on dedicated fora.
I have to say, being on Lemmy feels like how I started on internet in '94, more nerds then commoners to chat with, which is a huge pro (seeing people knowing they have brains and how to use them ;) ).
