Sounds interesting! I have definitely gone down some wikipedia rabbit holes. I requested to subscribe. Once I’m accepted I’ll share some of my favorite’s.

I don’t have an answer to this question, but I will provide my anecdote.

I have a smallish bin inside for all of my recycling. I rinse out of my bottles and cans in water so that the bin doesn’t get stinky. I’m not required to in my area, I just don’t like the smell of stale beer or old beans lurking next to my door.

My process is to just leave any bottles/cans/drinks that are recyclable next to my sink and when I do the dishes, I rinse them all out at the end and put them in the drying rack. the next morning they go to the inside bin. When the inside bin is full, I move that to the outside bin. Not too much effort, and my house smells (relatively) good

I miss the random passion of /r/CFB. It was great because all of the toxicity normally in sports was gone, and everyone was just enjoying the game and news about their teams. In the off-season people would concoct the most convoluted, elaborate shitpost for why their team is the best. I think my favorite essay was once about how the Alabama Crimson Tide’s greatest enemy wasn’t any other team, but the full moon, and went into a heavy statistical data dive to demonstrate how the teams few losses (they were seriously on an unprecedented run for over a decade) all came on or around the full moon. That and the team are the Tide, so of course it’s the moon.

That type of energy focuses on college football is lacking in Lemmy, and I haven’t found something similar here yet

This puts into words what I’ve been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I’m not off reddit entirely, but I’ve gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me
