Is anyone else enjoying the slower pace of content? (lemmy.ml)

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?

IMO, the pace feels slower because you aren't seeing any ads, and as a result, scrolling less and receiving more posts you really want to interact with.

Sure, the userbase is still coming together, but that's just a matter of time.

I used 3rd party apps so I didn't see ads to begin with haha. To me it feels slower as both the apps for Lemmy work out their bugs and Lemmy itself works out it's bugs. I keep seeing the same 15 posts repeatedly all the time. That makes it feel slower than it actually is.
