Lemmy is going to look more appealing as time goes on.

I left after they closed off the API and shut down third party apps. I could never go back, whilst Lemmy hasn't always offered the same amount of content, its always still offered good content, plus I know I'm guilt free of supporting Reddit and what a shit show they've become ๐Ÿ™‚

I got used to Lemmy eventually and like it. I spend less time scrolling which is good. Now just to ditch Instagram....

I deleted my Instagram a couple weeks ago out of anger and spite when the TikTok ban briefly went into effect. I also uninstalled TikTok and kept it uninstalled even after it was unbanned and really only have Lemmy and YouTube (not shorts). It's been a nice reset for my brain. My deleting Instagram has made a couple friends a bit sad because they liked to send me memes, but we still text so honestly I haven't missed it at all. All that to say, I highly recommend deleting Instagram.

How do you get YouTube without shorts

[โ€“] Saurok@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I ignore the shorts. The app still has them lol. Sorry if that was unclear. I just choose to watch normal length content on there. I think you can use NewPipe and filter out shorts content with your settings though, if that's something that interests you.
