Gotta sort by hot so you don’t miss out on those 3 year old posts with like one comment from someone 6 months ago confused about why the article is so out of date.
Yeah but then I wonder if maybe there’s so new good comments or some memes posted IN the comments that I might have missed.
If you really have a problem you can have a problem on Lemmy too.
Back when I started with Reddit I remember sorting by new and thinking, jeez why would anyone sift through all this crap… Cut to me exclusively sorting by new all the time because I looked at ev.ry.thing. So yeah, this is nice. Though in the future it may be just as full. Cross that bridge when we come to it I guess.
Yeah I was surprised to see how fast I read the entirety of the greentext community here… but that’s a good thing, makes me realize it’s an addiction and forces me to stop
It’s a good thing Lemmy is small, because you still run out of content faster. Less time staring at your phone is usually still a good thing.
I open Lemmy, “oh still the same top posts from 6 hours ago”, goes back to doing whatever I was doing
I sort by All/Hot, and if that’s not enough, I turn on All/New to get maximum “High” on Lemmy.

xD
the reason it’s hot is because someone forgot to turn off the stove from months ago
I accidentally sorted by old once, saw a bunch of “testing” posts, it was kinda amusing.
That’s cause those posts have been boosted, or so I hear.
Rare Lemmy L

Someone taught me the “hide read” workflow and now it’s harder for me to run out of content. Double edged sword though.
What if I’m not doing anything else? 🥹
Then you jack off

Use this opportunity to form a healthier relationship with social media
A good suggestion. I’m already trying to post less, comment less, and just focus on making better, more frequently positive contributions.
Kudos to you for that!
I usually open YouTube at that point…
I am bored of YouTube now
most of it is meaningless clickbait with dicksucking face and ALL CAPS TITLE
even good creators are nowadays forced to insert crap to make their videos over 8-10 mins long to please the algorithm
it feels like there is no organic content available even if there is, it is buried deeply inside
