Trying to make games in Godot engine.
Same here! It’s such a lovely engine. Conceptually a lot easier to grasp than other ones and first class support for Linux.
I use lemmy obviously. But I’ve started reading books again rather than doomscrolling until I fall asleep at night, and also more gaming and socialising in general.
I think it was a crutch for my depression.

Reading books
Same here, I’ve not been reading much for a long time, but I recently just started devouring books again. It’s great :-)
Installed stable diffusion to create pictures of… things.
It’s badgers isn’t it?
Lemmy and Firefish, and I just started reading a lot more. Books are excellent, the Libby app on my phone is always full of them.
I’ve been reading the news through some RSS feeds I have setup. Other than that I’ve been looking for a decent offline game to play. I have a few that I’ve player in the past but none of them are particularly great for those awkward periods of time at home when I have 15 to 30 minutes to spare.
Not enought content here to replace all that time saved IMO. At my worst I was browsing Reddit 6+ hours a day. Here, I can’t even go 2 hours without seeing the same content…
None of this is a criticism against Lemmy btw
I get that way a month ago. And yeah, I quickly run into duplicate content, but over the last couple weeks the duplicate content has been strongly peppered with new content that is highly engaging. With less churn, I find that I spend more time commenting as well.
For me it’s actually a good thing to not have the almost infinite stream of content that reddit had because it stops me from doomscrolling for hours on end and leads me to actually doing something
Oh I agree 100% but there are definitely aspects of Reddit that just aren’t replaceable with Lemmy. Lemmy has almost no car communities (besides FuckCars), which is a hobby that takes up a lot of my time. I’ve replaced the time I spent on Reddit car subs with /o/ and other forums.
As for my other interests, though, I think Lemmy is definitely better for my mental health. Nobody needs a constant stream of new memes to access whenever they want. I was developing a serious case of brainrot mindlessly scrolling when I still used Reddit.

I wonder how many new dnd players will there be because of baldur’s gate. it’s a shame that you can’t really track that
as if the first part wasn’t hard enough getting a time where everyone can play is next to impossible, good luck on your mission o7
I started a band. 🤷♂️ 🎸
What genre?
Grunge/melodic noise

For real? Taking care of my mental health. I was in a very bad spot of my life earlier this year. I lost my best friend who also happened to be my business partner, he died in March.
It was a shock, we both founded a small NPO together, he was behind all the strategy, I was more into communication. We thought he would recover from his cancer, but he caught covid while his immune system was at its weakest. He lost that battle.
I immediately tried to find my next professional step, insisting that I had to find a way to promote social economy locally, as that’s what we wanted to do together.
All this pressure on myself by myself, plus the state of the world, neverending flow of bad news, me losing faith in mostly everything and becoming extra cynical, I ended up flirting with a major burnout.
Fortunately, I asked for help when it was still time to act, and the reddit api scandal happened at about the same time. Leaving reddit was one of the first step towards recovery. All the subreddits were basically optimized for doomscrolling, which was super toxic for the state of mind I was in.
I just started to use lemmy last week since I found that Sync for Lemmy was available. And I only subscribed to things that aren’t too toxic. I’m now on medication to avoid depression. It’s been 3 weeks and it’s already much better.
I don’t think I’ll be browsing Lemmy as much as I was browsing reddit.
I’m sorry about your friend, and I’m glad you’re finding a way to deal with the grief and the shock. It never goes away, but you learn to manage it, and you learn how to live with it, and that makes it easier eventually. You’ll navigate your way through this, I’m sure.
Ditto, though the maintenance has really gone down since the early days of the migration. Now I basically just restart the docker container twice a week to bandaid Lemmy’s memory leak and that’s it.
I don’t have a large enough userbase to really worry about super active moderation so it’s really not bad now.
I am using your instance btw! Thank you for hosting!!!
