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?

Personally no. I used the scrolling to escape stress and just be mindless.

Now I don't do it as much since there isn't as much. When I try, it's not the same since it's slower and just not as much stuff. Also too many posts either about reddit or the fediverse. Honestly I'm tired about (metaish) posts of either of those.

Also the comments were better on Reddit (for me) just mainly because of higher quantity leading to semblance of quality.

I personally hope it goes faster over time with more variety and niches... I miss posting a comment on some places and getting more responses/conversations.
