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?

That's what I was saying when I first came to Lemmy. This is how reddit used to be. Before the digg migration it wasn't uncommon to see the same posts on the front page for days at a time because they were so active. It also wasn't uncommon to check it in the morning, and then see mostly the same posts that night. But, like here, usually the comments have developed and you can chat and have friendly banter with people. Reddit at that time I think still had loads more users than Lemmy does now, but the vibe was way more akin to what Lemmy is in its current state.
