    Make time speed up by hyper focussing on whatever is hitting that dopamine button untill I’m no longer allowed to stare at it or I fall asleep.

    Nothing, it’s much too small to contain me.

    For real though, mostly just feed my anxiety and existential dread.

    Lemmy, youtube, chatting, reading books, duolingo, looking up things. The only thing I’ll refuse to do on it is watch movies.

    Browsing Lemmy is among the few things I “do” on my phone. The rest are passive things like listening to podcasts or using the maps. I don’t really do much on my phone.

    What do you spend your time doing on your phone?

    Not much.

    Heck, I don’t even check the time on my phone (it’s quicker to look at my wrist watch and I think it looks nicer too ;)

    I have a phone because I’m expected to have one but only installed the few apps I must have access to (passwords, digital ID, security, banking & finance apps, and health). Plus, the fewer apps I find helpful on a regular basis (the city public transportation app, taxi, and the Uber app). That’s about it.

    The only other installed apps on the phone are those Apple won’t let me remove (I grouped them on the second home screen, so I never have to look at them). There is also my cloud app/service (Filen.io) and that document scanning app I purchased so many years ago but that is still regularly updated.

    Not even email is configured, there is no social app (and no YT). I also don’t listen to audio messages and never answer unidentified numbers. I will sometimes listen to a podcast but since I tend to take notes while I’m listening to most podcasts I enjoy, I prefer doing it at home not when I’m out so I don’t need to use the phone.

    I barely use that phone. As a matter of fact, my monthly data usage amounts to a few mega, at most ;)

    When I’m not busy doing something specific (which seldom requires me using that phone), I’ll talk with people around me, or I will try to enjoy more my surroundings, the quietness and silence even. I also love taking long walks, going to museums, expo,…

    When I really want to ‘spend time’ I’ll still try to make something out of it, either by reading the book I carry with me, or I’ll be taking personal notes or by sketching something in the notebook I also carry with me.

      Yeah, but i suspect you use lemmy on your phone or really only on desktop?

      So you’ve never had the pleasure of using one of the all great Lemmy Clients on your phone?

      Android and iOS, both have some really nice clients.

        Desktop only.

        So you’ve never had the pleasure of using one of the all great Lemmy Clients on your phone?

        I downloaded such an app not long ago, to give it a shot and for some specific reason I cannot recall (maybe I was having issues displaying some content on my computer, doesn’t matter much), I installed it not on the iPhone (my old eyes and I we find its screen way too cramped to our taste), but on an iPad. The app itself was rather pleasant to use, it was called Voyager if recall correctly, and I could easily see myself using it if I needed to check on Lemmy that regularly, but I don’t and I already spend too much time on Lemmy when I’m on the computer. So, I removed it ;)

    Phone calls to AAA and to check my grocery list.

    I have a burner flip phone, I don’t use it for anything else.

    I kinda resent having one for those, but it’s cheaper than a landline.
