I’ve been finding myself going back to Reddit as I don’t really care for 100% memes. I used to go on Reddit to learn things and read interesting content and discussions but I’m not really finding this on Lemmy....
I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it’s a reasonable purchase. Now I’m sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier....
I work from home, and my work computer and personal rig share a desk - by the end of the work day, sitting in the same chair at the same desk to stare at another screen started feeling like a chore and I had all but quit gaming.
The Deck has changed that. Not only am I loving gaming again, but I've found myself playing genres I never would have on my PC (things like Vampire Survivors just feel great on it, but I had no interest in them on my PC)
I haven't heard about Artemis - is that an app in development for Kbin? That would be pretty cool if so (although the PWA has done a pretty solid job so far)
God I hate this! Never fails, either. I’d be on a page of someone’s profile or some piece of content I’d like to see but I’m required to log in. Okay, I will do so. So I do and it doesn’t redirect me back! It just puts me in the front page, like no thanks, just bring me to where I was!
Well that's definitely a tomato I've never seen - wild! My most interesting this year is probably the German Striped but I'm going to have to try those tie-dyes I think
On one hand (heh) there's apparently evidence to suggest that handwriting activates parts of the brain which aren't typically activated by just typing something out. I can see how that would be the case and why it could sometimes be useful....
I take notes on my phone, especially if it's something I'll need on-the-go (like a grocery list). But I also write a lot of physical notes with pen and paper.
Especially for things like a remodeling project on the house - I can scribble out my thought process as I go, small ammendments with measurements or whatever as needed, etc. I prefer writing notes by hand, but there's no one right answer. For me, anyway.
Around 2017-2018, there used to be a huge circlejerk online about how Fortnite was the dumbest thing ever, to the point where "Fortnite bad, Minecraft good" was part of the infamous Keanu Chungus 100 meme. Why did it get so much hate, and why did it stop?
The funniest part of the article is how he's slamming the actions of unpaid moderators while saying "they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free".
All of this! Plus, from my perspective anyway, this has given a lot of people the chance to get their feet wet with other platforms and ecosystems.
While it may not be a majority, I do believe there will be well seasoned users that see how the whole thing was handled by Reddit, and see the potential in these other avenues, and stay in those new places instead.
So far, I would say I'm one of those users. After a decade on Reddit and decline in quality, I'm certainly happy to call a new platform home and grow with it.
My Lemmy feed is purely memes, where can I find text posts and discussions?

How much do you use your deck? Was it a good purchase?

What do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes?
Is it speed? Features? Ease of development? Just curious why lemmy is seeing more activity as opposed to other networks.
When a site doesn't redirect you to where you were after it nags you to log in to see content

What petty hill will you die on?
For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.
How do y'all feel about writing things by hand?
