Whatcha up to this blackout eve? How are you spending it? Anything you’ve made more time for? Do any of you feel antsy? Lmk! :)
I think you’re going to find a little bit of a sampling bias asking that question here.
Trying to figure out Lemmy. It’s not easy…
Also, replying to users who keep requesting access to our blacked out sub.
Wasting my life on Lemmy instead.
The only valid answer!
Yeah I thought about trying to better myself like learn to bake a soufflé, read a book, workout but then I just go to Lemmy
Playing disturbing amounts of Factorio. Unfortunately a vast chunk of Factorio knowledge is on Reddit so I keep accidentally navigating there, fortunately the Factorio sub is dark so I can wander off again quickly.

I stopped playing, but played/designed a lot. Would be happy to answer your questions!
Have you tried https://lemmy.ml/c/factorio ? I currently cannot subscribe to / find it for whatever reason, but you could also ask there.
My man
Not a man. Love your username though, as luck would have it my most recent endeavor was getting iron plates onto my new train network. Finally migrating from bootstrap to real base
Anyone can be my man, regardless of gender.
I feel like Reddit is a big basket of candy and goodies and I’m just sitting here staring at it telling myself not to touch. I’ve spent the time away by listening to podcasts and spending more time outside gardening and reading actual books and not a screen. It’s really rewarding and freeing, but I miss interacting with a community so I’m glad to have been directed to Lemmy.
Mostly Lemmy, Mastodon,
actually touching grass after years,and for my less proud time-waster, Discord and Youtube.I spent it hunting down a reddit alternative and browsing on lemmy.
I’m not going back. Reddit will go downhill gradually as it tries to squeeze out value at the expense of the community, and that’s not something I’m going to support it any way.
Spent the day installing light switches that I’ve had sitting in the garage for a year. Pruned some shrubs, burned some leaves, raked some gravel, touched grass, etc. Almost never posted on Reddit. Full time lurker. Enjoying contributing to Lemmy just for the sakes of user interaction :) Let’s stoke the fire!!
Well, looking if this lemmy thing is a good replacement ;) So far seems this is the way to go!
Especially with Jerboa already in place, its IMO a good switch.
The one thing that worries me is all that useful info trapped on Reddit, if Lemmy data expires then that has a long term cost/loss which is sad.
I’m spending the time, accidentally absentmindedly clicking on Apollo, seeing the protest posts and then force closing the app. Haha
It’s a little strange not having reddit to browse but it’s been supplemented decently by Lemmy thanks especially to Jerboa (based off of the client I used for reddit: Boost, which is nice).
I visited Facebook… It wasn’t nice.
Yeah I’ve seen enough of my older relative’s political views to know that one is a lost cause haha
Well, Lemmy, of course! Also, discovering new sites at https://cloudhiker.net/explore, some Plex maintenance and even a little bit of baking!
I still opened RedReader by reflex a couple of times, but I closed immediately. So far, I don’t miss reddit at all. I have been pleasantly surprised by how welcoming this community has been, thank you everyone!
I uninstalled all my Reddit related apps just so I wouldn’t open them out of reflex. I think this blackout is gonna be permanent for me chief
I joined about a week and a half ago, spent maybe an hour surfing before I made an account. After getting Jerboa set up I deleted RIF(🫡😭) and put Jerboa in it’s place on my home screen.
I’ve worked the whole time. Just avoided checking r/sysadmin and have been checking [email protected] instead (or however you link/tag a community).
On mobile I’ve habitually reached to tap the Sync Pro icon for Reddit several times, hesitated, and tapped Jerboa for Lemmy or mt kbin icon instead.
Also took our pup to the vet for some of his shots and played with him.
aww puppyyy!! 🥺
Yes! Little Pembroke Welsh Corgi x Chihuahua mix. He’s a cute little bugger!
We would love your smol dog over at https://lemmy.world/c/smol_dogs =P
You don’t have to tell me twice! Thanks for the invite!
I might spam lemmy on my sub if things on reddit continue the way they are going. in fact i will probably have both subs open. i admit its fun here more then reddit. reddit i turned the sub automated
Gardening. The weather is starting to warm up to summer temps so I have been going at it. Honestly, I’m not missing Reddit all that much and I don’t see myself using it much in the future regardless of what they end up doing.
It’s been raining in my historically rarely rainy city for the past two weeks and all I want to do is garden. My poor basil is just yellowing from how much water it has gotten and how little sun.
Definitely agree on not going back, I think I’m only missing 1 or 2 niche communities that haven’t migrated yet but I’m still hopeful
