I am trying to cut out Reddit from my life but I’m always ending up re-installing it because I simply don’t know what do with my time. We have two small kids (1y and 3y) so I can’t simply just read more, train more, play games, watch TV, etc.
It’s rather… Reddit filled those small micro breaks I get throughout the day. When I have a few minutes on my own when my wife has the kids.
Lemmy is nice but it’s just not enough content to fill this need. I have been thinking about Blinkist or reading something lighter on my phone (something which is easy to take a break from whenever).
I spend some time on Lemmy, obviously, but a lot less than I did on Reddit. It’s been great! I’ve been getting outdoors a lot more with daily walks and weekly hikes. I published a short children’s book a few months ago, and now I’m about 15,000 words into the first draft of an adult scifi novel. I didn’t appreciate how much time I was pissing away. Thanks, u/spez!
