while it’s cool that mastodon, kbin and lemmy can all talk to one another, the format of mastodon just doesn’t play nice with kbin and lemmy. if it works for you, that’s cool, but i’d recommend separate accounts for microblogging and thread-style social media

i have to be measured when i use tiktok, undisciplined use leads to me lying in bed on my phone for hours. i noticed myself swiping up on videos i was interested in watching just because the content wasn’t fast paced enough for me. usually using a fidget toy while watching a regular tv show helps a lot, but it can be difficult to ‘retrain’ my attention span

i switched to thunder after connect kept crashing whenever i tried to open it. so far it seems alright but i can’t see any way to vote on comments.

i’m completely neutral. in a retail environment i’m really not sure whether i’d even notice, especially if it’s already a hot day. you might get a lot of stupid questions from people who don’t like anything outside of their norm though

I quite like Dank Pods’ Cash Converter videos to feel like I’m browsing around with him and laughing at the bizarre things he finds.

i’m an absolute cola addict and unfortunately nothing else scratches the same itch for me. i am a fan of iced tea though

There’s a cars pope which means there is at the very least belief in a cars Jesus and by extension all other Abrahamic religions are represented in the cars universe

pretty much exactly what it sounds like. people would browse wikipedia and post the creepiest pages they found. like, for example, the aztec death whistle.

fair enough, for mastodon i just use the stock mastodon app from the play store. for what i use it for, casual browsing and boosting posts, it works perfectly well.

i haven’t and don’t intend to create a community bc i crumble under any tiny level of responsibility but i’ve been commenting on any post i have something to say on, and up/downvoting every post i see depending on the content. i’ve killed hours at work so far lol

any variation of ‘i’m at the soup store’ always kills me

i joined reddit in 2015 when the site was already heaving with content and users. good for killing time and consuming, but not for engaging in the community. right now lemmy/kbin is in the sweet spot where there’s enough people to talk to but not so many that i can’t be heard.

personally i’m missing all the horror content. there’s a nosleep replacement here that’s gaining traction but stuff like /r/wtf, /r/oddlyterrifying, /r/creepywikipedia etc are sorely missed right now

thanks for the rec! connect is working great for me

based on a recommendation from here, I use connect for lemmy. I find it much more stable than jerboa

I had an 8 year old account on reddit (deleted today) and had accumulated a decent amount of karma. that being said I didn’t even notice there wasn’t any karma here. the voting system is nice to see which comments are popular but there’s no need for it sitewide.

In my experience you can follow kbin magazines from mastodon but you won’t be able to see an actual content. not sure if this is being worked on.

i was confused for a little while too, created a few accounts and was floundering. the setup will be different for everyone but currently i have a tab open with mastodon and i’m following a few seperate instances there. then i have lemmy.world also open and i have stuff from different lemmy instances and kbin coming in to my feed.

i agree, feels very cosy here. just enough people to have a good conversation but not too many to feel swamped.
