mostly the same. I feel like even niche places get some of the annoying reddit mentality that has annoyed me for quite a while. There's still the hivemind and circle jerky stuff in small places. It's felt like less of that here, but also only a fraction of the people are on Lemmy so that will change when more people come.
Just adding in a couple thoughts.. there are lots of apps for this or you can keep it simple with your own spreadsheet. I've used EveryDollar for like 6 years now, it's gotten a little bloated but the core functionality is the same.
Budgeting sucks at first. It feels super restrictive, and it's a little stressful. This goes away after like a month or two and you will feel the complete opposite. It feels like so much more freedom once you get the hang of it and you will feel very empowered controlling your money.
I had a buddy try it out, saw how much he was spending on weed, then gave up trying. What you should do is just factor in your spending on weed and work around it if you need to, or change habits if you're ready. Budgeting doesn't mean you have to change your spending habits... you likely will, but it's more about being in control of your money.
It's funny whenever this is brought up on a reddit admin post. They always come with some stat saying a tiny % of users use old.reddit.com like that means people barely use it and therefore useless. But I see a lot of active posters talk about it which means those are probably the users you want to keep around lol.
They definitely count as ingesting books but there is a difference between reading a book and listening to an audiobook.
Reading IS the activity but I feel like with audiobooks people are typically driving or something where the book is in the background. Though maybe some people put on headphones and just sit and listen or something. I don't know if this makes me a snob lol.
Also The Expanse was the first book series I ever read. It was so good. And it made me like the show less even though the show is still great.
Yeah I'm the same. I figure reddit is never gonna die, just like how Facebook is still around. It will have it's uses but I don't plan to be on it very often.
I have about 30 communities I'm subscribed to and 90% of it is the memes and shitpost communities. So 2 communities are basically all I see. They're probably the most active but it's still extremely disproportionate. I'm like you I want to unsubscribe but it doesn't seem like the right way. Maybe I'll do it to test if smaller communities content comes through.
I guess I should add that I've done hot, top for the day, 12 hr, new, active, etc. I have a handful of communities I've never seen on my feed. I have to go to them manually.
Just think of all those old, helpful forum posts from years past with tinypic and Photobucket links that are dead. I agree memes can probably die out after time but anything informative would be bad to lose imo
Same. I used reddit mostly for smaller communities and the hot algorithm doesn't seem to pick them up here. They're pretty inactive but they do have daily posts. If I don't go directly to that community though, I won't see them. I'm sure these things will be refined over-time.
I just think it's silly some of the other comments saying "sometimes silence is deafening" "they could reply or choose not to respond" (assuming they even see this and other comments).
But this just feels very witch hunt and feels like a classic reddit-type post. I don't know how much you truly care about his stance or if you're just bored on the internet, it just feels like it would be exhausting going around to different figures of services you use to get their stance on things.
And what field is this? Or what professions do you think so well here?
