I'm not sure that lemmy users are different in this from user of Reddit/HackerNews/Facebook/etc.

It's never been about reading the post/ articles. Mmm?!

I 100% did this on Reddit. And I do it here too. Most news websites are garbage and loaded with advertisements. Get halfway through the story and a full page ad pops up or a video starts playing. Honestly, does anybody stop reading to watch those videos???

Or, you go into the comments and see the summary, or the full article, or quotes of the most important parts with discussions. If I feel I have questions, only then will I open the website.

You must be the last person on Lemmy still looking at these sites the way they're displayed by default. Firefox, adblock, no script, pi hole, etc makes all that go away pretty painlessly.

I use an app on my phone that just loads the website in a browser within the app.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
