I had been feeling a bit drawn in to reddit for the past few months before the divorce. I feel like the slower pace at which content comes out on Lemmy is good for me in that way. I can't just scroll and scroll and scroll my entire day away.

Does anyone else feel similar?

Because of the slow nature of content I ended up being subscribed to more communities than I would have back at Reddit. My feed is still 99% 196 just like in Reddit, but instead of needing to pop into r/all or r/popular every few hours, the New Comments sort ends up "sprinkling" interesting stuff from other communities into my feed.

You can check your favorite subs daily and not be overwhelmed by content. It's a nice thing

In the early 2000s there were a couple of different forums I liked, so once a day I’d walk over to the library to use the internet and catch up. I’ve missed having that kind of healthy relationship with the internet, haha.

It's probably not going to last.

Yeah I Look at all most of the time and return way less frequent. But it scratches my itch for content enough that I stay and enjoy that stay.

To be perfectly honest, no :(

Reddit is just so incredibly massive, there's always something new and interesting to find in /r/all

I hope one day that lemmy can achieve such reach.

I do appreciate it but I also notice that a lot of content is not getting moderated resulting in low quality posts/spam.

[–] Jfqs6m@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that happens. As more mod tools come out I'm sure that will get better with time.

[–] cccc@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

It’s good because I feel like I can actually participate without getting lost in the shuffle.

[–] Veraticus@lib.lgbt 1 points 2 years ago

Sort of yes?

It certainly gives me a lot more time for reading rather than social media which is probably a good thing.
