I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
This might help in finding a good instance; https://the-federation.info/platform/73
I actually tried four before I landed on one I like. First was a matter of latency, in other words finding one close to me with a good ping, then it was a matter of how well I liked the administration.
