Your reasons are why i generally still use Reddit (i didnt feel butthurt losing access to most 3rd party apps as im mainly desktop user - however i do frequent Tildes more than Lemmy) - most of the communities i use never left reddit (dont see intention to either) and there isnt comparable equivalents on Lemmy (not on Tildes either but i prefer the more indepth discussions there)

Couple of things. What are White Noise Podcasts?. Spotify only started to offer Podcasts (got annoyed them pushing them in the recent UIs) a while back didnt they?. Imagine many people who use podcasts for any length of time actually use another service or app (in my case Podcast addict and now Antennapod). I used to use Spotify premium for music only. Thanks for all the recommendations further down for alternatives but how many offer mainstream music/download purchase etc?

Listened to a podcast which said he can still run for the presidency though. WTF ?

Isnt instagram primarily used for.... pictures and images? I seen comments the times i have used it - the comments are generally very low quality and low brow.

40-45C happens in our summers on a semi regular basis (thank f*** last summer we only had a handful of days like that). Inner Oz can reach close to 50C in some areas.....
