  • The two things that have helped me with scrolling Lemmy have been:

    1. Setting the default sort to Top posts of the last six hours. I can still see most of the interesting discussion, but get down to newer, less active threads within a few pages. Then I want to give it a few more hours for more activity to form.
    2. Setting a generous screen time limit of 2 hours a day. Combined with the first I feel a need to space out when I browse Lemmy to ensure I see most of the daily activity.







  • Should a good essay not have an introduction that goes over some of the actual information in the video and establishes the tone/method of delivering that information?

    If you’re trying to say that the introduction is not representative of the quality of the rest of the video, you should argue that instead of the rather lame argument that not watching something in it’s entirety prevents any commentary on that thing. It goes hand in hand with someone saying they watched the whole thing and didn’t like it, then asking why they watched the whole thing if they didn’t like it?

    There’s a finite amount of time in this life, and every moment spent doing one thing means not doing another. Giving anything stumbled across on the internet 20 minutes of your time to determine if another 3 hours is worthwhile is a decent commitment. When I’ve done that I’ve not made a comment about it because I’d rather let the people who did like the video enjoy it than throw out some negativity, but it’s a completely valid approach to curating one’s time.
