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 you need to move to medium-sized communities for a little bit. like /android instead of /myspecificphonemodel, or /electriccars instead of /myspecificelectriccarmodel.
The great thing about small communities is that you only need to convince a handful of people to jump ship to get them started again.
To me, the problem is that usually only a small percentage of people in the small-medium subs were actually content submitters. Personally, I would comment on things often (or lurk), but not submit news and articles. I honestly still jump to reddit once a day to check major news, which will be much harder when my 3rd party app is gone.
