!edc

That’s the one I’ve been using, not the most active but seems decent.

Back to the OP. I carry a Rovyvon A8x flashlight and yubikey on my keychain.

VPN because I don’t know enough about all the random arrr services to expose them trustworthily.

It seems to me anecdotally.

It’s compressed still but is original resolution rather than half Res AND compressed.

I’ve been able to do this for about 3-4 weeks now.

Love ISPreview.

Also I bet the Americans would love if their advertising agency did this. I swear every other week they have 5GEE, 5G+.

There are algorithms working in the background on Reddit to keep you there. Same with pretty much all “social media”. They aren’t on Lemmy. The point of Reddit is to keep you there, and shove as many ads down your throat as possible. Ads don’t exist here, and no one (as far as i can tell) is making money from you being here.

I agree with what you’re saying about the algorithms sucking you in, but disagree that’s the biggest reason. Lemmy just doesn’t have a lot of content, browse HOT or go through your subscriptions and you’re done pretty quick.

giant_smeeg , 10 months ago to asklemmy in Anyone else feel that Lemmy just *isn't* addictive?

Massively. If you can contribute, ask and learn on a discussion then you get WAY more out of it.

Lemmy is perfect for that atm, reddit you’d get immediately drowned out or some dickhead just dismissing your point and that’s it, done.

I work at a bigger company and i’m so fucking happy they’ve embraced it recently and reduced office space by around 60%. There literally isn’t enough desks/space for everyone to work on site down and actively expect people to work from home.

They’ve seen the reduction in real estate and energy bills (this is a big one)

giant_smeeg , 10 months ago to asklemmy in Anyone else feel that Lemmy just *isn't* addictive?

Agree’d, people aren’t contributing enough so it seems dead after a 30min check per day (might not be a bad thing).

If lemmy is to thrive and survive, post, comment and start discussions. That’s what is addictive and provides value.
