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?

I had to take a break from Instagram because of this. I used to enjoy scrolling through the reels and reading the comments. Sometimes there'd be some really funny chains, but lately they just got to be so rude and negative. I'd spend hours throughout the week and at the end of it just feel sad and empty. Lemmy's been a nice change because it's still small and feels more positive. I'm hoping that as Lemmy grows it doesn't lose that.
