Lemmy/mastodon for mindless browsing has replaced reddit/Twitter for me. For specific research/googling on a niche topic, I still find reddit threads popping up all the time so I'll still click those to learn more, but they web browser only.
For sure. I still pop over there for subs that haven't seen to have materialized here. I'm not a content creator; I'll engage in discussion, though. So I'm in Limbo for the time being. Hoping to see Lemmy grow, and at the same time take on some of what Reddit did 10+ years ago that made it great.
I really just miss forums the way they were, but if you want active communities covering a bunch of topics, it's gotta be home to many, many people. And with lots of people come lots of problems.
