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 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 1 year ago

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

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.

Breaking free of radicalizing algorithms and agenda driven rage farmers will feel weird for a while. There's a process of recovery when healing from any destructive addiction.

Sort of yes?

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

[–] cccc@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

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

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.

I have mixed feelings. I don't mind the slower pace currently, though very much want more active communities here so more people feel there is a decent alternative to reddit. The more communities that people see inactive when they join, the more likely people will give up on Lemmy.

However, I agree with those who say it's important for people who want to see Lemmy succeed to contribute by commenting and making posts. I was a lurker on reddit, but we can't treat Lemmy at such an early stage in the same way as a website with a large and established userbase.

No, I'm missing out on critical news. If this isn't fixed I'll go back to reddit.

Everyone, do your part to submit one newsworthy event per day.
