I’m looking for recommendations for app based/nice mobile friendly sites (free ideally, but I’d consider subscription) that can help me keep across news in the tech/UX/design space.

I’m somewhat reliant on my LinkedIn (which is such a toilet and usually just ends up annoying me) for news/emerging issues etc that affect my industry - the main reason being I can scroll through and open things of interest.

I’ve subscribed to newsletters/bookmarked sites but I just never seem to get round to reading them. Countless emails just stack up sitting unread.

My theory is if it’s something I can just look through on my phone when I’d otherwise be doomscrolling, that I’ll be more likely to read things.

My work is in the content strategy/design space and I’m in Australia - so bonus points if it has relevance to me in that way. Thanks all!

Edit to add - I used to use Twitter too, but you know… Just no.

    I hope Lemmy will become this. Here is my strategy:

    1. Create a Lemmy community (for example [email protected]).
    2. Submit something every few days. Not much quality control. Quantity over quality for now.
    3. Hope for a community to form.

      Great idea!

      At first I was bemoaning the lack of content here, but honestly if I’d posted this on Reddit, either it would get lost in the noise, or there’d be 50 comments taking the piss/laced with gatekeeping and sarcasm.

      Everyone’s being really helpful. I’m genuinely chuffed.

      Thanks for reminding me to regularly upload. I’ve recently only been making posts that I have questions or something and not updates.
