  • i’ve had the same thought as you.

    i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i’ll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.

    then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.

    I don’t get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren’t checking your subs tab. Like…that’s why it’s there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations



  • As someone who smoked Camels for years and is now just as addicted to vaping, there are no benefits. Zero.

    When I smoked cigs, I stank constantly. Even if I sprayed perfume or had a mint. My fingers always smelled.

    I did 12 straight years of choir, but now I have a much smaller vocal range. I’m not as active because I get winded. Now that I vape and have constant access, I get cranky after like 30 minutes of no nicotine.

    My blood pressure is higher. I can’t be on the type of birth control that gives me less side effects because my smoking makes it higher risk.

    I’m raising my risk of cancer. I’m spending a fuckton of money on flavored air.

    There is literally no positive and I wish I had never touched it.







  • first was an ipod touch, when i was in middle school i think?

    favorite so far has probably been just my iphone, i started with a 5 and now im on a 12 pro max with about 6 months until i can upgrade

    i’ve loved the evolution of ios, and doing the betas and seeing how far it’s come i still remember when the first iphone came out when i was in like 6th grade and my friend got one, and we thought the most simple shit was the coolest most futuristic thing we had ever seen

    i really do love my macbook pro though. can’t say it’s my favorite cause i’ve had an iphone so much longer and i have my whole life on there, but using windows my whole life, then trying a chromebook during my Pixel 3 phase, and then finally getting a macbook has been wonderful



  • Thank you

    I’m getting tired of seeing those comments, it’s giving a little bit of condescension, and tbh I don’t want to see lemmy communities just turn into subreddits with a list of 30 strict rules you have to check your post against before submitting

    It’s so unbelievably easy to just scroll past, I truly don’t understand people who don’t want to see it and could just scroll, but instead expend the energy to open the post and type out a comment instead

    I know this technically isn’t the right community, but is it hurting anyone? Could we view it as an opportunity to help someone today? Idk people are so into their own little world.


  • I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

    I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories…I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

    Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i’m cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

    when i just want to scroll and see what’s new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

    i’m really trying to interact more too.
