I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade. But I’m done with that site and want to do something else. What do normal people look at on their phones? Is it all social media? Streaming?
I replaced it with Lemmy, so that’s what an abnormal person does.
It’s a breath of fresh air in an otherwise chaotic Internet user interface.
Oh that’s fantastic, thanks for sharing!

Hey, nice. Thanks.
Thank you!!!
My amazing wife is normie/10, she watches usually TikTok cooking recipes or makeup videos. I’m trash man husbae, so I’m on Lemmy here with you

I ride the public bus every day, and I can tell you its basically all social media, messaging, YouTube and phone/video calls.
But you don’t have to do the same thing everyone else does. You can play digital card games, chess, read a book, or put your phone in your pocket and listen to podcasts or music. And if you’re not commuting, you can plug your phone in and do actual stuff.
Heh, look at you, asking this in Lemmy, as if we’re all normal.
Idk but wtf are people always doing on their phone in the car. Am I the weird one where I can’t even think of anything I’d like to do on my phone while driving? I can change media and text my wife all via voice control if I need to.
I used to try to use voice control for changing media when driving, but found it hilariously unreliable since it had to try to parse the voice command through the music. Is there a trick to that besides having a better mic I’m missing?
Idk what system you’re using but I use CarPlay and android auto. Both of them are able to mute when I press the chat button or if I yell “hey whatever”
Older vehicle, so it’s basically just the phone and either an aux cable or bluetooth receiver, so that probably explains some of it 😅
I dunno about everything, but my car has a talk button on the steering wheel, I think you press it to answer the phone or whatever, but when Android Auto is active, that button works the same as saying “OK Google”. I would imagine it does something similar with CarPlay. Maybe you have a similar button?
In my car (2016), Bluetooth supports phone calls and that’s it, so I have a separate Bluetooth receiver always plugged into my aux port. So I have to cycle music manually.
Similar to the other person that replied to ya, I’m in an older vehicle so I don’t have anything like that in mine, instead relying on either aux cable or bluetooth receiver to connect the phone to the audio system. It got to the point that I got a bluetooth media remote to get around the unreliability of voice commands.
Lots of people are on TikTok and Instagram.
I on the other hand stare at the nearest wall.
My wife scrolls through Instagram & plays mobile games. She’s pretty normal.
If I ever find a normal person I’ll ask them for you.
Please define “normal people”. ;)
You know how you scroll through your Instagram feed and then stop when you get to the big checkmark?
Yeah, normal people keep scrolling. For literally an hour or two at a time.
What big checkmark???
I tried Instagram but it’s like scrolling through Facebook videos… all garbage.
Dunno about normal, per se. I have adhd and when I’m not forgetting what I was about to do in the time between having the thought and picking up my phone, I am often diving down some rabbit hole. This might be a quick Google search in a definition, or to figure out where I heard a word. For example, a friend recently mentioned acid reflux. So my brain thought “GERD?”, “GERDY??”, “THE HERDY GERDY?!?” which led me to Wikipedia, then to a handful of rather cool videos on Youtube of people playing the instrument.
Er…
My point being: Use it as a helpful miscellaneous tool. Like a physical widget that can go along with near any activity.
