Has anyone else been reading linked articles more often on Lemmy? (lemmy.ca)

When mindlessly browsing Reddit, I found that I usually just jump directly to the comments, read a couple, and continue. Lemmy seems a bit more curated (read: smaller), and therefore it's easier to actually engage in discussions, which leads me to read the article, think critically about it, and respond (if I have something to say) in the comments--bigger is not always better!

For me it's a combination of being very careful with what I subscribe to, and a lot of the news subreddits putting the text of the article in the post. Makes it near impossible to justify not reading the text rather than jumping to the comments, and it's guaranteed to be in a decently readable format (unlike most news websites, for some reason)
