    Browsing Lemmy’s front page has replaced reddit’s r/all for me, usually checking top of 12 hours from all instances.

    But I still use reddit for specific forums of certain things, because it’s just the biggest community for the particular subject. I usually try to check if I can find the particular subject from Lemmy and check that out first though.

    I’m more of a commenter/lurker and I quite rarely make new posts, but when I do make one:

    • If it’s a question about something I need help with, I’ll start with a Lemmy post and then possibly also make one on Reddit - more readers, more answers.
    • If it’s just a shitpost/meme/“content”, I only post it on Lemmy.

  • Genuinely curious, because it’s quite apparently about lifestyle in general: how often do you need a flashlight, especially a good/bright one? I mean, a bright one is nice to have, but it’s not like I’d need one. Basically I can understand why people just pick whatever they happen to find from the first store they walk into, and they’re happy with their purchase.

    Currently, I don’t even own a flashlight. I rarely need one and when I do, I’ve just used my phone’s flashlight and it’s been just fine for whatever I needed to do.


    1. Googled “Lemmy” to see what it even is
    2. “wtf is an instance”
    3. Checked some of the most used instances. At this point I wasn’t sure if it matters much, but I just figured it’s best to just pick a popular instance.
    4. found lemmy.world, and the description goes “The World’s Internet Frontpage - Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use.”
    5. “sounds good enough”, created account
