Oh, I totally understand that feeling. I go back to Reddit about every month and a half to see what's going on, in a few subreddits that wouldn't survive on Lemmy as they are too niche. Even though I know not to check out the "popular" and "all" I have a hard time fighting against the thought of just checking the feed out a bit. It's bonkers to me just how depressing, cynical, and rage-baiting that website was when I stopped using it as a regular, to how it is now. You just can't take in all of that content regardless of who you are. There are so many unworthy items on there (and dare I say some even here on Lemmy? But thankfully it isn't as rampant and/or egregious on here. Or perhaps, I've just blocked so many of them that the "all" page doesn't feel so bad.) Sadly, the world as a whole is going through a lot of things that are connected and some that aren't but still weigh on us.
