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?
For the popular communities, yes. For the smaller niche communities it just feels empty and sad. Hope this platform catches on so the “there’s a subreddit for everything” quote could be a thing here too.
I think you need to move to medium-sized communities for a little bit. like /android instead of /myspecificphonemodel, or /electriccars instead of /myspecificelectriccarmodel.
The great thing about small communities is that you only need to convince a handful of people to jump ship to get them started again.
