I’m 21 with zero tech background. But I wanted a reddit replacement so bad that I somehow figured out how to use Lemmy lol.

I still don’t understand how it works and how to make my own community, but I’m happy just getting to comment and post. Being part of the birth of a new social media is also nice.

Honestly I’ve been addicted to reddit for several years, and it even had negative consequences for my life. When I was depressed I just used reddit all day and became obsessed with the subreddit moderated. I deleted that account and now I’m in a much better place but that constant urge to open reddit is still there.

Before July 1 my reddit usage was around 2 hours every day, now it’s been 0 for 5 days.

So I’d like to Thank Reddit admins for this.
