I only troll and break the terms of service on Reddit now
This feels like an extremely basic thing to miss. Something 10 seconds of thought would have fixed.
I’m even lazier. I use the top pirated movies of the week Trakt list and movies just show up on Plex automatically.
Thing with me is I don’t want the raw stream of dozens of articles each day. I’ve used RSS feeds with Reddit for years now using the Top Week feed for each important subreddit. I haven’t been able to find a way to get that sort of curated information stream anywhere else. Essentially I get around the top 12 articles/pictures/text-posts each day that real people think are actually important for each of my interests. Open to suggestions, though.
Congratulations, guys. This is officially Lemmy lore.
It feels like my experience on Mastodon after Twitter imploded. Hopefully it lasts.
I do this with Inoreader. I subscribe to the Top Week RSS for each subreddit. It looks like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/top/.rss?t=week
This cuts down my usage to only the most important/popular topics. It helps me waste less time and gets rid of the addicted feeling where you’re sitting there refreshing the front page seeing the same things you saw five minutes ago repeatedly.
Because I know there’s only going to be ‘x’ number of posts each day from each Reddit I find myself engaging with them more carefully, more mindfully. And when the feed runs out, I go read a book or do something else. It’s very freeing. I’m setting up Lemmy to be the same.
Exactly so. I’m about a third way through Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. It had a section on infinite scrolling which made me realize it didn’t have it. The book talks a lot about social media’s grip on us.
Don’t you just love your phone and mac sharing the same copy/paste clipboard
I appreciate the fact there is no infinite scroll on the front page.
I use Inoreader to put in the Top Day or Top Week RSS feeds of various subreddits. (Just found out I can do the same here on Lemmy.) It helps keep my usage from getting addictive like I’m trying to squeeze blood from a rock, and it keeps me from seeing the same posts over and over again. I see all the important stuff. Once. I really enjoy it.
