How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

ones that fully left reddit

Ones who fully left reddit, you mean. We are people, not things.

When I was on Reddit I consumed it fast and often. The bus, the car, the patio, the loo; everywhere.

Now I launch Lemmy and say to myself "oh, right. Less stuff"

I think I need to normalize not checking Lemmy like it's reddit, still. There's definitely some behaviour to unlearn.

Less stuff actually made me check it less, which is healthier. But I also don't feel like there's much more enjoyment, probably because I used smaller specific subs more often. I also waste some of that earned time on Youtube, so overall, I have a bit less wasted time and that's it.
