Also, thank you for posting and commenting and making such an exciting community thrive!
I have a very irregular work schedule, resulting in a lot of free time punctuated by periods of intense crunch. It’s not unusual for me to have a few weeks at a time just empty of work.
I post my hobby/sidegig tabletop commission projects, since I’d have been working on them even without Lemmy. Then since in real life I come across many odd things in my traveling, I’ll make sure to snap some photos.
Then I just have a daily habit of browsing certain sites and feeds related to various Lemmy communities and linking to Lemmy whatever catches my eye.
What commissions do you do and in what community do you post them?
Tabletop miniatures. I post in !warhammer40k@lemmy.world and !tabletopminis@lemmy.world
Most new OC I post there is a commission.
Nice!
Slow at work, what else am I gonna do? Work?
Work sounds terrible, be Lemmy!
I have a job where I don’t do anything ninety-seven percent of the time but I need to be ready for the three percent when shit hits the wall.
My job mostly entails me working in a ticketing system all day. When I’m all caught up and there’s no backlog of tickets, I usually kill time hanging out here while I wait for more to come in.
I have a bad habit of leaving comments when I want to leave none ever. So comments >0 is too many by my own reckoning. I have the free time because depression. I make these comments because I’ve lost my self control in that respect
I seem to compulsively leave comments as well, I think they help give body to the community.
Its good Lemmy work
That’s a good way to look at it lol, I’m contributing to the Lemmy fluff. Someone will read it and eat 5 seconds of their time, thus contributing to the goal of Lemmy; wasting time
Wating time Learning!
Constant cultural and empathetic expansion!
A while ago, I had A LOT of free time to shitpost on social media, and I was beginning to miss it.
I don’t have as much time anymore. 😭
I’m sorry for your loss.
Claw that free time back.
My job is mostly only busy first thing in the morning. I go around and swap out empty containers for full ones. Then I have to refill the empties. The machine takes an hour to run, so that leaves me a bunch of downtime.
At night, I’ll make a bunch of posts ahead of time while I watch TV and save the drafts so I can post them quick in the morning before I head off to work. Some days I’ll get too much content, and others nothing, so I have about a week’s buffer of post content.
Ha, this reminds me of another comment about dandori, the Japanese art of time management referenced in Pikmin.
I think they were talking about their work, while you use dandori for the more important lemmyverse. Nice.
I love seeing familiar faces. It’s like talking to your neighbors. I feel it’s an investment. :)
I share your sentiment. I feel optimistically productive while posting, at least some of the time
This is my go-to “too long to stare at the wall, but not long enough to play a phone game” time waster.
Post on company time 😉
I check in throughout the day and scroll a little when I get in-between sorts of moments, also watching for notifications. It’s still just fitting into my regular day though, a couple minutes here, a couple minutes there.
It’s actually a lot better than reddit for that, since there isn’t as much activity, so I seldom get sucked deeply in like you can with something with endless content.
I work from home.
I work in a huge building where I frequently have to walk a lot to get to places, so I comment while walking.
I don’t post a lot but I have a lot of free time due to being T-boned on my motorcycle from someone running a red light. My mobility has been seriously restricted since. When I was working full time and posting a lot on Reddit I was training corporate engineering sw. When I wasn’t training I had a lot of time on my hands at work so I’d scroll reddit. I was also traveling a lot so I was away from home and reddit was sort of my travel family
Nice to have a community to be a part of, for sure.
Sorry to hear about the asshole hitting you, I hope physical rehab goes well and you regain maximum mobility allowed.
The Dr said my foot was squished like stepping on a grape and you can’t put the grape back together again. But I’m so thankful to have a foot and leg at all after that so I appreciate what I have not what I don’t have, even though it does get burdensome when pain or lack of movement is high
I’m very happy for you and your very healthy perspective, my best to your grape-foot.
A grapefoot is still a great foot.
Company time.
If you’re paid to do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.
Commendable
I won’t have what I love tainted by employer/customer expectations.
