In the early 2000s there were a couple of different forums I liked, so once a day Iβd walk over to the library to use the internet and catch up. Iβve missed having that kind of healthy relationship with the internet, haha.

It's probably not going to last.
Because of the slow nature of content I ended up being subscribed to more communities than I would have back at Reddit. My feed is still 99% 196 just like in Reddit, but instead of needing to pop into r/all or r/popular every few hours, the New Comments sort ends up "sprinkling" interesting stuff from other communities into my feed.

You can check your favorite subs daily and not be overwhelmed by content. It's a nice thing
Yeah I Look at all most of the time and return way less frequent. But it scratches my itch for content enough that I stay and enjoy that stay.
It's ok
I do appreciate it but I also notice that a lot of content is not getting moderated resulting in low quality posts/spam.
Yeah, that happens. As more mod tools come out I'm sure that will get better with time.
To be perfectly honest, no :(
Reddit is just so incredibly massive, there's always something new and interesting to find in /r/all
I hope one day that lemmy can achieve such reach.
Slower? Have you not seen all the beans? Maybe thatβs just my feed.
I'm making a bean filter

No, I'm missing out on critical news. If this isn't fixed I'll go back to reddit.
Everyone, do your part to submit one newsworthy event per day.
Sort of yes?
It certainly gives me a lot more time for reading rather than social media which is probably a good thing.
