I don’t really know. I tried all day and nothing worked; I tried it today again, and still it didn’t work. I turned off the ad blocker and nothing. Perhaps is fault of my bad internet?

Really specific issues are more often than not only found in reddit, and that’s not even all, for me at least; a lot of those answers in reddit are short and to the point. Sometimes you search for the solution of a problem and find posts on websites filled with irrelevant information that you don’t really have the time/patience to read. . .

I agree with you. I hope karma is not implemented on Lemmy. The up/downvote system is fine the way it is now. I will say also coins and awards. I don’t really think those are necessary. I’m aware that was something characteristic to reddit (correct me if I’m wrong) but I prefer all that to not come back.

It doesn’t help the fact that depending of the question, every single answer ends up being only on reddit and nowhere else.

ADHD aside, you need to ask yourself if you like it, if you’re really interested in the content shown, if maybe your mind is distracted in something, or you’re worried/uncomfortable in the environment you are in and the likes. Have you read How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler? the author explains that we learn to read just on a surface level, leading sometimes to problems like you express. He then teaches how to approach a book in a way that you squeeze the most information and knowledge from it, even if its just a fiction book; and in the process, remember everything that you read even after finishing it. What works for me is: give a conscious effort to concentrate in what you’re reading, but don’t stay in the same page, don’t even read a sentence two times. See if you concentrate better with music; I have ADHD and when I read books I need to listen to three diferent playlists to concentrate. Finally, following the first thing I mentioned, giving a conscious effort is exhausting to the brain so when you realize you can’t concentrate anymore just leave it and start again the next day where you left it, you will notice that your brain will stand more and more all the work out you’re giving it.

I’m not old enough to remember forums, but recently I was lurking around archives of some old forum and, the community around it seemed so special that I hope we can achieve something similar. Obviously, back in the day internet wasn’t so massive like it is now, so perhaps that feeling of closeness would be difficult to achieve (?)

I will ask, is this how being part of a forum back in the day felt? Because that’s the “feeling” I have right now.

Here leaving my comment in support to this. I wasn’t really active on reddit.
