Yeah I can see a treadmill being extremely boring. I usually ride and run outside, but I had to ride on a trainer for a couple of weeks because of an injury and it was just awful. I couldn’t wait to be done. But when I’m outside sometimes I’ll extend my ride for another 10km just because the weather is nice and I feel good, I’m (almost) never in a rush to finish.

I don’t think I could run on a treadmill either, at least outside I have short goals to reach (ok now to the next lamp post…)

I cycle for adventure and experience, it’s also why I prefer gravel and offroad cycling to road. That gravel crunch in the forest, smell of the trees, sound of birds and absolutely no traffic is pure bliss. Ok sure there is some suffering during climbs, but the feeling of accomplishment when you finally get on top and the descent that follow are worth it.

I join one gravel competition a year, but I go for the event, not to actually compete. I like riding with one friend, on paths where we can ride side by side and chat, and I don’t see a point in group road rides where you just stare at the butt of the rider in front of you the entire ride.

In general I experience joy the entire bike ride, it’s like my therapy, a couple of hours without a phone, outside, just me and silence. I guess the fitness that comes with it is good too.

Yeah I just don’t see a value Reddit can have for shareholders, other than selling ads (even more). If it was insanely profitable, the owners would be reaping profits already.

More companies should stay private, look at Steam for example, they’re doing things at their own pace and developing things that aren’t instantly profitable because they’re not concerned with shareholders opinions.

Probably because people treated subs like hashtags, yeah let’s repost this photo to as many somewhat relevant subs as possible. Every other social media uses hashtags, so reddit must be the same, right?

But in some smaller, non default, niche communities, you still found plenty of quality, original content. Many of those were too small to probably even make it to Lemmy at all, let alone gain some traction. But I’m happy /c/flashlight is over here already.

you just see nothing but porn.

Oh horrible, please tell me where exactly that is so I can make sure to avoid it.

To be fair I have never found any useful information on Twitter from Google search results.

I only really use Instagram to follow the local gravel cycling scene, if that’s not on pixelfed, then it’s not useful to me. But thanks, I didn’t know it existed and I’ll check it out.

Not all instances require email to sing up, I’m signed up without one.

Y’all have friends?

Instagram is also turning to shit, it’s just reposted content from tiktok, they’re really pushing the reels over images. I joined Instagram because I liked the photos, if I wanted to look at tiktok content, I’d use tiktok.
