The experience that I love isn't Reddit but the one that I get with Boost. Lemmy is growing and there are some subs I miss from Reddit but the number is constantly decreasing.

Youtube won't be good for your mental health. Their algorithm pushed you into really dark content if you give it time. I still use Reddit for some communities (ex. r/soccer) . But for others Lemmy in Boost scratches the itch.

Ah yeah I've heard it can send you into a spiral if you aren't careful. I get pop ups from time to time but I think the algorithm knows exactly what I like now. I mainly get food videos, science, cute animals, gundam, gunpla and crafting, travel, video games, anime and streamers lol. I guess it's just visual junk food.

Anything political, or news related I avoid and spam the "don't show me this" button lol. It's really weird seeing the main page of youtube when you're not logged in. It's so different!
