IMO, the pace feels slower because you aren't seeing any ads, and as a result, scrolling less and receiving more posts you really want to interact with.
Sure, the userbase is still coming together, but that's just a matter of time.

You can check your favorite subs daily and not be overwhelmed by content. It's a nice thing
In the early 2000s there were a couple of different forums I liked, so once a day Iβd walk over to the library to use the internet and catch up. Iβve missed having that kind of healthy relationship with the internet, haha.
It's probably not going to last.
Because of the slow nature of content I ended up being subscribed to more communities than I would have back at Reddit. My feed is still 99% 196 just like in Reddit, but instead of needing to pop into r/all or r/popular every few hours, the New Comments sort ends up "sprinkling" interesting stuff from other communities into my feed.
I know I'm late to the party but is there any chance you can explain 196 to me?

It is a blessing for someone like me who had a lot of difficulties to stay away from reddit. Lemmy gives me a slow paced window of reddit, with RSS feeds taking up the rest of the free time. So in the end the time I spend is more focussed on my interests but driven by reputable sites instead of someone in reddit.

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.
It's ok
I do appreciate it but I also notice that a lot of content is not getting moderated resulting in low quality posts/spam.
Yeah, that happens. As more mod tools come out I'm sure that will get better with time.
Sort of yes?
It certainly gives me a lot more time for reading rather than social media which is probably a good thing.
Slower? Have you not seen all the beans? Maybe thatβs just my feed.
I had posted this a few days before the reddit API change, it was a lot slower then. I kinda miss it TBH...
I'm making a bean filter
Itβs good because I feel like I can actually participate without getting lost in the shuffle.
