I remember when I was on Reddit I would check it several times a day. But with Lemmy there doesn’t seem to be that much content popping up to justify that. I’m finding myself less addicted to the platform genre.

How often do you check Lemmy? What do you subscribe to that keeps you coming back?

    Oh, several times a day for sure. It replaced my left swipe gesture from my home screen, and so anytime I swipe left from home, it automatically opens thunder. I also get notifications after 15 minutes if somebody replies to a post or something.

    TL;DR: too much lol

            And see, I have been reading and responding to different things since I opened your comment before. I prob use lemmy to much. My favorite sort is by new subscriptions so that I can see what I’ve missed in chronological order and then once I am done with new I generally go to top in past 12 hours to see what everybody is talking about in the all feed.

              This is the way. I guess I’m just not Lemmy-ing well enough. I’m looking through the list of communities now and trying to find more that I didn’t find when I first did my mass subscription.

                I used browse.feddit.de to get my first communities and have just added to them a little at a time as new ones of interest cross the “all” feed or like recently i installed NixOS and wanted to see if there was a community for it and there was. So i started out with maybe 10-15 core subs and have branched into quite a few more. I also run [email protected] because i liked the news and discussion on /r/tmobile. The lemmy community doesnt get much discussion, but it gets some and i add what interests me. Others are free to contribute as well.

      You can do this? I hate the left swipe crap stuck on my phone so much I pretended it doesn’t exist; I didn’t know you could customize it.
