I do a combination of new, active, hot. mostly just sort by new since the other options are iffy on the sync client, its not like there are so many posts to sift through when I surf using new lol

I use Lemmy and YouTube. when Lemmy content dries up, I watch a couple of things on YouTube before I begin doing something productive

this is a great question. for me, it would be going to bed at a responsible time.

I actually had that thought yesterday. my younger self would be so sad about me cutting out precious video game time, but I literally can’t focus on my job if I get tired halfway through the day.

but my younger self would not understand how lucky my life currently is, and that “sacrifices” need to be made to do the best that I can in life since many people do not have the opportunities I have. I got very lucky.

I would say… yes! you never know who you are really talking to, so I would never take anything personal someone says to me online, no matter what was said to me.

these are just words on a sceen that can be written by someone who is unwell mentally, as normal people don’t bring other people down during a discussion.

it takes awhile to get used to this, but once you do, the good conversations you have online will (hopefully) outshine the bad ones. good luck!

whoa, Lemmy explorer is a great resource, thanks!

YOOOOO that purple one! I wonder how hard it would be to do this to mine… time to add this to the Christmas list lol

definitely fucking hilarious. I laughed so hard at the last sentence

its effective for me, but I always find myself going back to reddut due to the data thats already there.

as the fediverse continues to grows, I’m sure my reliance on visiting reddit will begin to go down
