Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.

However, now that’s old news, and my account is totally gone.

I won’t miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.

    Deleted my 10 year account with hundreds of posts and thousands of comments. I have to admit, leaving reddit has created a sort of vacuum in my life, and I have been spending more time scrolling on facebook, news sites and other shitty services. I’m happy to finally have landed on lemmy, but it has been a bit bumpy with the instability on lemmy.world.

      Lemmy is getting there but it’s still not a great replacement, especially when it comes to niche topics. For example, the Venture Bros movie came out recently and I wanted to discuss it with other fans, but there’s no place on lemmy for that; or if there is, I have been unable to find it. Meanwhile the Venture Bros subreddit has 3 different megathreads. I’m keeping my reddit account around for things like that until lemmy grows a bit more.

          It is technically a movie, sure. But more accurately, it’s the conclusion to a show that’s been on the air for almost 20 years. It’s not a movie made to stand on it’s own. Posting it to a movie sub makes as much sense as posting about ancient Roman senators in a politics sub. It’s technically politics, but you’re not going to get very meaningful discussion because it’s not what people go there for. The only people who would watch this movie are fans of the show, and even if a non-fan watched it, why would I give a shit about their opinion of it? They aren’t going to get it.

          Are you starting to see the issue?

      Yeah I filled that vacuum by learning how to solve a Rubiks cube, and now I’m trying to do it faster. Sync for Lemmy came out and felt just like Sync for Reddit and I was a bit worried I’d fall back into my old ways, which I kind of am tbh, I just have to make sure I’m not on Lemmy as much as Reddit somehow.

        Ignore /c/all and be selective about the communities you subscribe to. In addition to other unfortunate browsing behaviours I also started lifting weights and climbing, so something good came out of it 😄
