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?

No, it depends on the number of community subscriptions. Still not nearly the firehose that is Telegram.

How does one use Telegram for content? I thought it's just a chatting app.

You can create broadcast channels on Telegram, and many people have made these, with enough content that they have become like news feeds.

Yeah, content is lacking. I haven't tried telegram but my fear is that it will be the same issues reddit had for me. Too much content so I just sat there all day sucking from the content teat. The conteat if you will.
