You're not kidding about the cleaner part.

Coming here has made me realize just how astroturfed reddit is on the larger subs. Just an army of bots upvoting each others trash.

Folks here are just trying to rebuild what they loved from reddit and it feels genuine. Honest to god it's like a breath of fresh air

I won't miss the sex related askreddit threads from thirsty redditors that always appeared on the front page

If I'm being honest I'll be using both at least until Sync officially shuts down. After that reddit will be 100% old.reddit on the laptop, and when the quality takes a dive from mods quitting/mod tools getting nuked then lemmy all the way

The official app is terrible and not worth suffering for a dopamine hit. I know spending all that time scrolling on the phone isnt good for my mental health so I suppose this makes for a good opportunity to readjust.
