I don’t have fun at all - when I work out just to “work out,” anyway. Then I have to think about it sort of like physical medicine. I do it cause it’s good for me.
But if I can find a way to get the heart pumping that’s primarily about doing an activity, with fitness just being secondary, I have a lot more fun. I recently got into boxing for fitness because kneee trouble was making high-impact cardio painful. Love it. Training becomes something to look forward to because boxing is fun rather than metaphorical castor oil that I swallow down because I need to.
Another thought: making a community can also be a nice structured incentive to check in on your hobby regularly. I like looking for videos or articles to link to for my yugioh community even though there’s not many people subscribed - it gives me an opportunity to interact with and think about the game in different ways than I normally do.
Smh imagine not being a chad Pepsi enjoyer
Oh boy 29999 friends that I can be obnoxious towards on main
He thinks RIF and Apollo - both of which I have personally used - don’t add any value to Reddit? Lmao what a shithead
Also love the gaslighting of “um actually sweaty nobody likes the blackouts and everyone just thinks they’re annoying 💅”
I like “cliffs” on the theory that users are called lemmings, so the communities are the cliffs we choose to run off together
The death of Apollo is literally why I’m starting to look at online spaces other than Reddit as my go-to
I unfortunately think 1 is the most likely, at least for now. A one-time disruption won’t be enough to sink Reddit. What could permanently change things is the sustained build-up of viable alternatives over time. So I guess you can look at the blackout stuff not as the end for Reddit, but maybe the canary in the coal mine for a gradual descent.
Yes! Exactly that
Hoping a few people into yugioh make the jump. They had their faults, but the yugioh subs were a good place to talk about the game and get news.
I’ve set up a community on here - please feel free to stop by and check it out!
Very satisfying to see that graph go vertical starting in June lol
Whoa, I downloaded it and this is way better than using the browser on my phone
There’s an app?
Oh, whoops. I should have checked! Thanks.
WhitePeopleTwitter. That sub seemed to do nothing but emanate lukewarm political takes or the worst humor imaginable - and reposted twitter screenshots are the lowest form of content
I have never even heard of r/cooperatives, but now I wish I had. I’ll have to give the linked resources a look!
Awesome to see so much growth. I just joined yesterday and I guess I’m not alone!
This is helpful. Thank you!
This is too quick of a movement towards defederation. Except in the most extreme of circumstances, it should be up to individual users whether they want to engage with other communities, and users can always block communities they find objectionable. It is not in the best interest of users to treat them as being incapable of making their own reasoned decisions about this kind of thing.
Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of the fediverse, I can just make a new account on a different instance and start engaging with Lemmy that way. Anyone have any recommendations on alternatives to lemmy.world?
