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 feel more the lack of my favorite communities that haven’t made the jump. Some alternative attempts exist here but are dead. I miss the variety of topics and random discovery as well.

      I miss the /r/legaladvice drama and the fun on /r/bestoflegaladvice. That was my go-to “take a break and feel better about my life” sub where I would also learn things occasionally.

      Yeah that is always a shame. There are a few communities that I am missing still as well.

      Yeah I still have to go to reddit for good, solid PC gaming news or updates about Starfield. The CFB subreddit as well. It feels like my frontpage/subscribed on Lemmy is a shell of what it used to be, and maybe that’s a good thing but I feel like I have to keep going back for random stuff.

      One big issue I have with federation is that there are like 4 versions of r/gaming, each with their own pace of content but they don’t seem to be getting updated in Lemmy.world. I’m tempted to make an account on .ml or .ca just to get more content since .world is defederated by a few places.

        but they don’t seem to be getting updated in Lemmy.world.

        I think that’s something to do with the version of Lemmy that .world is currently on, so that should hopefully be resolved relatively soon.
