now I can’t even browse reddit since there is a never ending stream of posts and comments on lemmy ^^
I could browse lemmy all day, I still need to find some kind of lemmy browsing/life balance xD

It’s much nicer though, lemmy is not designed to be addictive so it’s much easier to not waste time on it.
I am quite addicted nonetheless ;)
It’s just temporary hype. Things should settle down eventually, though never all the way down to where they were. pagination, no karma or rewards, no agressive notifications, etc. all mean lemmy is a far healthier platform than Reddit.
Since the API announcement, I’ve made a big effort not to open Reddit. It’s working so far. Found Lemmy…but more importantly actually took Mastodon seriously. With the Ivory app, goodness, I’m loving it! So many helpful and knowledgeable people.
I’ve been following tags on topics I’m interested in, and just really digging the community.
Same here. I unsubbed most of the “time waster” subreddits and kept only the niche communities that aren’t established anywhere else yet. I’m checking out mastodon next
Good luck! Mastodon has been a dream community for me. I haven’t yet made any persistent friends, but engaging with people’s toots has been awesome.
It’s not just Mastodon, there are instances that don’t use the software. Akkoma and *key are gaining ground.
The niche communities I can’t find here are probably the only reason I’ll begrudingly keep my account around. Like I’m pretty sure I’m not finding a group of people here to talk about the new Gloryhammer album with and if I did the band members wouldn’t be part of it lol.
For me it’s the deahcore community. And same thing there with band members regularly dropping by to interact with the community
