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 definitely find the content to be deeper and more meaningful. I like the slower pace but I find myself excited to see posts with lots of comments.

      There also seems to be a deeper sense of community, at least in a few instances and communities, than I’ve experienced in a long time, excluding some of the more niche-er subs

        I’ve engaged more with posts on Lemmy than all of my years on Reddit due to the deeper sense of community.

        It’s really cut down the amount of endless doom scrolling I’d do throughout the day as well

      deeper and more meaningful

      Ah yes, like the “how do I not poop for 3 days?” post.
