& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

It's crazy how addictive social media is.

Seriously. I feel like I'm going a bit crazy trying to migrate myself to Lemmy while waiting for Boost for Reddit to stop working. Internet forum style social media should never induce this sort of anxiety.

Lol. Absolutely. I used to be a huge book nerd. Like all non-fiction books reader. Up until about 2 years ago when I joined Reddit and that good habit just died off slowly. It makes me sad to think about it. This is the only social media I have. Left reddit and now on lemmy. I'm hoping the dullness of Lemmy will get me back to reading.

I'm the same way and I hate it. I have to force myself to read a book these days and if I don't get far enough into it quickly, I end up never finishing it. And it's definitely the fault of sites like Reddit. We have a room in our house we call The Library because it's all bookshelves around the walls and it's full of books. My wife is a librarian. And I never read anymore. It's wrong.

I'm going to start reading tomorrow. That's a promise. I'm half way through "why we are polarized" by Ezra Klein. Stopped reading it a long while ago, but I'm going back to it tomorrow.
