Yeah, this feels like silliness rather than malice.

I have RSS feeds for the top Reddit and Lemmy posts and Lemmy always has the best memes.

Yeah well when I close my eyes you don’t even exist!

Mythbusters and Diablo 4

I bought a 49” super ultrawide to replace my dual monitor setup and I found while 32:9 gaming I still wanted to watch fullscreen videos so I added back my 27”. Might add back my other 27” so I can do fullscreen discord/other stuff. Lemme tell you, SUW absolutely ruins a person.

Tape down an air horn and throw it on their roof or tree. Repeat if necessary. Problem eventually solves itself.

I don’t really like how it parts my hair in half

I only troll and break the terms of service on Reddit now

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.

There are about a million people here all saying the same thing. It’s amazing, it’s better than you think, and once you use one, you will never ever go back.

It’s all true. When you poop in a public restroom or at a friends house without one, you will feel tainted.

In the winter if you’re worried about cold water, you should know the anus is not very temperature sensitive. I suppose because in our evolutionary past we did not use our anus much to sense the temperature of objects.

You got me. I am actually the real account for all of this. I thought I would make a fictional post explaining that all my stories were fictional, but they were all actually real. I hope we can start a blank slate from now on. I’m afraid I’m gonna have to come clean. I am not actually the person with the original account making a fictional account to explain my real stories that turned out to be fictional but are actually real (but in reality aren’t). I am the former /r/jailbait moderator Spez.

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.
