    I would say Reddit became mainstream in 2015 with over approximately 100 million users. That’s when I started noticing the quality of comments start going down. That’s when people stopped having discussions and started bickering more. Before that it was a lot less hostile and the topic of discussions were more fun and informative.

    There was also a lot of OC at the time. You just needed to join subs in order to see it. But it was there.

    I agree that the standards were lower. That resulted in a lot of fun because things were easier. It would be harder to gain momentum that way now.

    The thing about link aggregation is that it can be done on any platform. You can post links to Piefed, Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr along with all mainstream sites. So why choose Lemmy over them?

    The difference will be the OC. If users don’t want to put in the work for it then people who join will get bored and move on.

    I’ll read comments on Reddit talking about Lemmy. Users will say they tried Lemmy but there was no interest/posts/discussion in their niche communities so they ended up back on Reddit.

    We’ll see what happens I guess.

    I know life is tiring but just in case you are also physically tired from lack of sleep. I recommend taking 5 mg of melatonin, if you have 8 hours of sleep available, for a few days.

    There are times when I don’t sleep well, tossing turning etc, and melatonin every so often helps me catch up on a good night’s sleep. I’ll wake up feeling a lot better.

    It won’t solve your life problems but it will help alleviate the unwanted feelings from not sleepy well.

    I hope things work out for you.

    Just Run Zero to 5K.

    For me it’s the Golden Age of apps. Easy to use, minimal, good UI, no ads with the ability to buy premium, all the features that you need and non that you don’t.

    If you want to start jogging I highly recommend it. I think it’s perfect.

    Edit: I went from barely able to jog an exhausting half mile to jogging 4.5 miles in 13 weeks. It wasn’t easy and I think I “failed” a jog twice but having a clear goal with the encouragement of seeing a timer motivate you really helped me.
