i find myself spending WAAAAAY more time on reddit as an unregistered lurker than a contributing user on the entire fediverse combined due to the lack of content.
what are some easy things i can do to make sure that my surfing doesn’t benefit reddit or any other site?
100% agree. I probably spend 60% of the time I spent on reddit on Lemmy and have more fun, find more interesting content and engage in more interesting and productive discussion.
I learn just as much on Lemmy (with the exception of local news) and the users I interact with are better informed and kinder.
I DO miss that local news / engaged local community.
