I’ve gone a full week without Reddit and I’m realizing the sheer amount of time I wasted on that fucking site. I’m taking back control of my time, my mental real estate, and mindfulness. I don’t need new content every single waking moment, checking the app multiple times a day. If I check Lemmy every other day, that SHOULD be the relationship I want with an app like this.
And if I’m really really bored, I’ll check “All instances” and sort by New on Jerboa!
Try sorting by new. And welcome to the ranks brave soldier
New addiction just dropped
I had that realization today too
I got like…frustrated when I was between meetings today and kept refreshing and there was no new content. I’ll admit, I don’t know what to do with that, you can only look up the news on work computers so may times.
I believe the hot sort has a bug right now, it stops updating after a while and the server admin has to restart the Lemmy program. Should be fixed next release I presume
Things can be slow. But we’re very spoiled because of all this rush, wanting the ultimate last information right now and squeeze the very last drop of dopamine we have. It’s good to live at a slow pace sometimes.
Fediverse pages have no algorithm that tells you what you must see, they’re not under the rule of a big corporation and they’re free of ads and monetization. They rely on our voluntary donations, and except for very few situations, admins are really cool.
I feel you and yes!
But if you want to participate you can sort by new and/or new comments.
What I’m missing is this: select article from articles where age<N hours order by score descending.
