I started using the app a few weeks back. I try to always limit the length of my browsing sessions to avoid losing too much time.

I also have dedicated accounts for different types of content (movies and shows, language learning, parenting, history, etc.) so that I still maintain some kind of focus.

Also the Revanced version helps with no ads and limited tracking compared to the original version.

The best would be a Fediverse alternative, I know there is https://goldfish.social/ but it still seems in an early stage, hopefully it will get more mature in the future.

    Dunno about TV shows, but for new shows, there’s lemmy C/s that are good enough to improve on better than word of mouth

    Which shows are not TV? Genuinely asking as usually for me shows are TV (or Netflix or whatever). Do you mean more like Broadway style musicals? In any case, do you have any recommendations? I’m mostly active on !moviesandtv@lemm.ee but that’s TV

      Yeah, tv shows. And that’s usually the best place, over at lemm.ee. Well, the best on lemmy as a whole. You can usually build a decent mastodon # list and have a feed that serves just as well, but it isn’t as quick and easy as lemmy (imo) because it’s hashtag driven

      I’m not able to do much in the way of musical theater, so I avoid forums for it unless there’s a reason. Can’t handle sitting in a theater any more. Not that we ever got many close enough to go to in the first place lol.
