I haven’t used pidgin in about 15 years. I miss it

No. I already sort by all, and new is generally too low quality and frankly still too slow. I also switch to all on Reddit once I’ve skimmed over the first couple pages of my feed

Yep. Weirdly, I didn’t do any work to populate reddit either. It’s almost like that would be impractical and unrealistic for an end user to do.

I don’t have the time. This just fills the empty gaps in my day, before bed winding down

Just… content. I open my Lemmy app once and I’ve seen everything it will show me for the day, or sometimes for multiple days. I open reddit and I can scroll for hours.

Thanks for your service. I’m more of a lurker, though I tend to comment more here than on Reddit, and I have so many other things filling my life that I have to tend to. This is just a distraction before bed or filling a dull moment.

Every time reddit announces something dumb I open Lemmy again. I’d rather be here on principle but the content/users just aren’t here yet. Where are the cross post bots?

New here, I’ve always used Google’s DNS to get away from my ISP’s. Is there a free alternative that I can switch to?

Wish we had this instead of a growling guy in a mask headbutting a clown

Saved me a click through, I’m not mad about it

I use it every day in the same way I used to use Google. It’s great for quick syntax reminders or low stakes ‘searches’. If I want to know where to go in a video game, I’m always going to get an answer faster from chatGPT than Google, and it’s not the end of the world if it hallucinates, although that has never even been a problem for me yet. Meanwhile Google just indexes ‘recipe blog’ type articles where you have to scroll past dozens of ads and drivel before you get to the actual info you’re looking for.

If you treat it like old Google with a healthy dose of skepticism it’s a very powerful tool. My only complaint is that it doesn’t source it’s info so I can’t follow up or dive deeper very easily.
