There is no infinite doomscroll on Lemmy and that's what I used to do on Reddit. Now, I just read the top headlines and touch grass :)
The reason I'm still here instead of there is that I absolutely can't use their official app. I just can't. It's so awful. Lemmy isn't perfect but at least it isn't that. So I do spend less time doom scrolling and that's probably good for me.
Same here, I actually have a much healthier relationship with social media when on Lemmy vs Reddit. That might change as Lemmy grows in user content but for now I’ll enjoy the quieter experience
There is a middle ground between "infinite doomscrolling" and just barren. I miss a lot of communities I used to browse on Reddit and they aren't taking roots here. Losing more people isn't a good sign.
Yep, I'm finding about half of my Reddit usage satisfied. I've got all the technical talk I want, but no gaming or writing communities.
!keepwriting@lemmy.world ?
What are those communities you miss?
A variety of fandom and franchise-based communities, some artistic communities, some more specific sub-communities like Patient Gamers which exists but it's pretty slow.
Sounds about right
Very patient for sure
Precisely. And maybe bring the grass to Lemmy a little bit
E: see my posts
