  • i’ve had the same thought as you.

    i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i’ll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.

    then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.

    I don’t get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren’t checking your subs tab. Like…that’s why it’s there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations

    Same!!

    My theory is that is has to do with the pace.

    With a movie, it’s a slow burn. There’s usually some plot establishment in the beginning that goes slow, then a bunch of filler in between moments that actually further the plot.

    With a show, your runtime is maybe an hour, but generally 30-45 minutes. Most shows each episode has sort of a main story and a B-storyline, and both wrap up nicely at the end of the episode. There’s less filler because there’s less time, so you feel like you’ve completed something without dragging it out for 2 hours.

    And because you didn’t have to spend 2 hours forcing your brain to pay attention and make all those connections, it’s not burnt out, and it wants more instead.

    I certainly dislike reddit but I do like lemmy.

    It’s exciting watching the community grow and learning together how everything works. So far everyone I’ve met has been super supportive, I asked a question about where to find mod tools and someone went and commented on my communities and someone else reported them so I could see firsthand and practice!

    Made my day that multiple people took the time.

    I think as long as we all keep that attitude of community, and do our best to create content and participate, there’s no reason why lemmy can’t run circles around reddit.
