It's reminding me a lot of when I first joined Reddit (nearly 15 years ago). Not too much is happening day-to-day so I'm checking in every couple of days or so.

I think this is a much healthier relationship than checking a site compulsively every couple of hours. I'm liking it so far, also a crazy repercussion is that I'm using the internet like the early days again. I think of a topic and I do a deep dive on my own, researching into it and going down weird rabbit holes.

I feel like Reddit discouraged this behavior by having a non-stop flow of communities that "mostly" interested me enough to not go "browsing the web"
