Stop eating anything with high fructose corn syrup. I promise it works.

Same, 8 years for me.

Is this the combined bill for mastodonworld and lemmyworld?

I think what people who are commenting here aren’t getting is that they’re only doing it to a percent of accounts and not ALL accounts.

Wait, what. You are blowing my mind right now.

Joke’s on them. I set one of my communities to NSFW and then unmodded myself.

I haven’t read that particular book, but I love Frannie Flagg.

Yeah, it took me awhile to train my brain to focus on them. I have to do something that requires almost no thought to basically keep my hands busy without distracting me from focusing on the book.

If you have a library card you can probably use hoopla and/or libby.

Yes! That’s awesome. Come join us in !bookclub@lemmy.world to discuss books!

Yeah, and I moderate a few communities. If an instance disappears so do my communities.

This is so helpful! Thank you!

I’m 1000% pro-audiobooks. I listen to them when I wash dishes, drive, or play certain video games.

I think that’s an excellent tip. That’s how I got back into reading. Instead of trying to set aside an hour or two for reading I just started carrying a book around so I could read 10 pages here or there when I would have otherwise been looking at my phone or staring into space. It’s a really easy way to read more without taking time away from other things. I get reading in when I’m standing in line or in a waiting room or waiting to meet up with a friend.

My number one tip is don’t be afraid to DNF. (DNF stands for Did Not Finish.) I used to be someone who wanted to finish every book I started and I always held out hope a book would get better, but I read so much more if I just give up on books I’m not enjoying. Now that I DNF things more quickly it keeps me from getting into reading slumps.

Noob question: can we, at the individual user-level, block entire instances?
