      Congratulations on the first mark! That’s great to hear.

      How much longer in your recovery regimen?

      Are you pretty active again?

        Thank you so much! I just got news last week that I’m in full remission (although still incurable because myeloma) and my blood tests are “pristine”. Still suffering from extreme post-chemo fatigue, both mental and physical. It is what it is, better than the alternative.

    I don’t get how people can comment way too much. I barely comment or post anything not just on Lemmy but on every platform.

      It’s definitely just time for me.

      I sit around chilling out and if I get a message I might as well answer it because who knows, maybe I’ll learn something, or what they’re saying will be interesting

    I have a very irregular work schedule, resulting in a lot of free time punctuated by periods of intense crunch.

    I post both my hobby/tabletop commission projects, since I’d have been working on them even without Lemmy. Then since in real life I come across many odd things in my traveling, I’ll make sure to snap some photos.

    Then I just have a daily habit of browsing certain sites and feeds related to various Lemmy communities and linking to Lemmy whatever catches my eye.

    I love seeing familiar faces. It’s like talking to your neighbors. I feel it’s an investment. :)

      I share your sentiment. I feel optimistically productive while posting, at least some of the time

    I check in throughout the day and scroll a little when I get in-between sorts of moments, also watching for notifications. It’s still just fitting into my regular day though, a couple minutes here, a couple minutes there.

    It’s actually a lot better than reddit for that, since there isn’t as much activity, so I seldom get sucked deeply in like you can with something with endless content.

    I’ve been on summer break since May. Started back Monday and I’m very very angry with our new ‘leadership’ team, so I spend every possible minute browsing my phone. My other activity is deciding on the words I’ll say and what song will play as i drop a match behind me on my way out.

      “Oh, I forgot…”

      drops match

      Cue “It’s getting boring by the sea” by blood red shoes.

      That’s a good continual conundrum.

      Happy judgments to you.

    I don’t think I comment way too much, but probably sometimes it’s too much. Those times it’s because online existence is a form of escapism, and sometimes that’s useful escapism that helps me to survive, and sometimes it’s maladaptive escapism. Often it’s both.

      Without cigarettes, of course, you will never die.

    If I spend more than 15 minutes, not distracted, with my own thoughts, I get sad.

      I’m glad this grab bag of errant thoughts is available for you to wade through!

    I work in a huge building where I frequently have to walk a lot to get to places, so I comment while walking.

    I have a bad habit of leaving comments when I want to leave none ever. So comments >0 is too many by my own reckoning. I have the free time because depression. I make these comments because I’ve lost my self control in that respect

      I seem to compulsively leave comments as well, I think they help give body to the community.

      Its good Lemmy work

        That’s a good way to look at it lol, I’m contributing to the Lemmy fluff. Someone will read it and eat 5 seconds of their time, thus contributing to the goal of Lemmy; wasting time
