I switched during the third party app thing. I still Google “problem reddit” if I need good answers but Lots of stuff from reddit I never needed and some stuff was actually throwing me off. The insanely strict rules, mods on Reddit being assholes (there’s less of them on Lemmy I wanna think) and the depression inducing pessimism.
I cut out politics from my feed (works 90% of the time) and always browse “new”. Good memes, some niche communities and a very diverse and interesting community. Sometimes a little bit too forceful in their perspective but I love all the lemmings on here.
So how did I do it? I think it was a natural fit for me. But only browsing “new”, avoiding politics and joining some niche communities helped.
Also no one is forcing you :)
Take your time and maybe when the time is right you will wanna switch over completely. No one will force you on here, but I think that’s exactly why this platform is so good.
