and using lemmy feels like starting a car in the 1910s by hand cranking the engine. ie i like it but it's a pain

i got into twitter more, but i'm trying to not engage with the stupid shit that i know is just written to drive me insane

i also, a few times, reflected off the boredom and done something productive; made spreadsheets or installed a video game [i am physically unable to get into gaming for some reason]

I can relate. That first week back on 6/12 was rough. I abstained but it was a longing somewhere near quitting cigarettes, but without the irritation and physical cravings. There was an emotional aspect to it too, like losing an old friend after 14 years.

Things were clunky over here at first, and the other client I used was like vaping 0mg. Then that client just flat broke and I tried Connect. Around that time, someone suggested sorting by hot and things got better quick. At this point, I'm good. I'll give it time to develop and for communities to build.

I do miss some of my nerdier communities, but haven't been back in July and have not posted since 6/12. Even the search results I get that sometimes point to Reddit, I'll ignore. It's like a bad breakup... Cut all ties and pretend they're dead. After a while, you can reflect a little more clearly. For now, fuck 'em.
