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?

    Are you joking? It’s always asklemmy, memes, announcements, programmerhumour, and maybe one or two others for me.

    Edit: just checked again, it’s:

    An asklemmy from 2 days ago A meme from 18 hours ago A meme from 14 hours ago A “Reddit” post from 2 days ago

      Maybe top isn’t the best sort then. I get a mix of stuff but asklemmy and memes are two of the most popular communities (that my instance connected to? IDK still learning) so I do see a lot of posts from there.

      Maybe something like hot or active would be more diverse but I don’t know since the instance I’m on is still on 0.17.4 and I heard those are fixed in .18

      Edit: lemm.ee did just update to .18.1 and all hot does seem more diverse for me at first glance.

        That was on hot.

        And I tried a bunch of times replying to this comment when I first saw it two days ago, and repeatedly got network errors.

        Again, I want to stress - directionally, I think federated systems are a cool, good, and functional idea. Presently, it’s disingenuous to pretend they are fit for purpose.
