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 think I find it a bit harder to find exactly what I’m looking for on Lemmy for support and help on various topics. So, it’s good and bad. When it becomes easier to search for content Lemmy will definitely improve on that front.
I’m still discovering new instances every day and it has been a much more slow paced browsing experience due to load times and the frequency of new content.
It’s definitely a different (but in no way worse) experience to what I’m used to on Reddit, but there’s a whole lot less upsetting content (like personal stories of abuse and such) that show up on Lemmy, so I think it’s been better for my mental health, even if I feel a bit less connected to the internet than before.
And let’s be fair, it’s probably for the best.
