Is anyone else enjoying the slower pace of content? (lemmy.ml)

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?

I feel more the lack of my favorite communities that haven't made the jump. Some alternative attempts exist here but are dead. I miss the variety of topics and random discovery as well.

I miss the /r/legaladvice drama and the fun on /r/bestoflegaladvice. That was my go-to "take a break and feel better about my life" sub where I would also learn things occasionally.

I'll add I miss r/aspergirls dearly.

I also miss AskScience and AskHistorians and CongratsLikeImFive and dadswhodidntwantpets and Epilepsy and excatholic and HobbyDrama and HomeschoolRecovery and lotrmemes and TIFU and OutOfTheLoop and outside and Random_Acts_of_Pizza and SubredditDrama and sysadminhumor and WotchesVsPatriarchy 😔

They are still there, you can still participate if you want. Lemmy isn’t a religion, and I promise you will not be shunned and sent to hell if you hang out on Reddit for the subs you miss.

[–] iamhazel 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not worried about being shunned or anything, my desire to open reddit just hasn't overcome my distaste for the company yet.

Yeah that is always a shame. There are a few communities that I am missing still as well.
