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?
But you also can’t just scroll endlessly through unknown stuff. There are thousands of rich, but extremely niche subs. There’s one for cultivating worms!
On Reddit, you could just scroll through /all and get bombarded with stuff you would never even think about looking for. That’s (at least currently) not possible here.
True but you don’t really mindlessly scroll through those communities, you mostly go on r/all or other popular communities for that. I used to watch a ton of content on r/videos but then some days I would scroll through the front page and just not find anything relatable to me. I joined the site pretty early, like back when it was mostly tech people. So to me the site got worse content wise but if that was the worst of it I could of accepted just hanging out in niche subs.
I just visited r/all and mostly just found American politics and low effort content. It’s just not for me personally.
Eh, whenever I looked at /popular or /all it seemed to be full of angry things like r/mildlyinfuriating or r/trashy and other stuff like politics which was just angry divisive stuff. I like the more chill and tech-focused things here.
You kind of can, sort by all, then top day or top week. It won’t be LITERALLY everything but it’s something.
Are you joking? It’s always asklemmy, memes, announcements, programmerhumour, and maybe one or two others for me.
Edit: just checked again, it’s:
