Right? Scrolling through /r/all is just a combination of ragebait, low quality trash and circlejerking. I've been increasingly unhappy with the platform over the past years and the great time I've had on Lemmy has really driven the point home how bad of a site reddit has become.

Literally the only reason I occasionally go back every 3 or 4 weeks is to check if my old app moved to the subscription service yet, and so far it hasn't

I just need to start mirroring my fav book subreddits to my instance and I'm fully done with reddit

Been doing that too (though not at the same pace). Like project Gutenberg has a ton of good stuff if you just let go of your preconceived notions about "the classics". Like you could right now drop everything and go read Ulysses. I wouldn't reccomend it (go read Dubliners instead), but like you could. It's like a call of the void.

Any good book recommendations?
I've just started reading more since a month or so as well, but I'm having trouble finding good books - especially sci-fi stuff

I read the children of time books (2 of 3) and although the idea is cool, the writing style and also the (later) story itself isn't really good.

So I've looked into the Foundation series from Asimov. I started with the prelude and went on to the second book, but after Dune it feels very shallow and somehow written like an action movie (with easy/stupid solutions)

Isn't really the thread topic, but if your have any good books in mind, I would really appreciate it :⁠-⁠)

I think there's a lot of people who got turned off from commenting.

It was so easy to gain the attention of some deranged Redditor when you commented, it was often just not worth it. Maybe that mindset came here and people are still warming up to the idea.

I have been writing a lot of comments on lemmy and people are so quick to upvote or downvote or try to start an argument. I can see why lots just lurk
