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?

Totally relate to that. I love discovering new things and reading many different people's thoughts on a topic, but every platform based around scrolling on a feed is too addictive to me. If I use them too much I can already start to feel some cognitive abilities decline after a few days. The slow pace of lemmy is really nice.

You might also be interested in curating an RSS feed for yourself if you haven't already.

I'm interested in the RSS feed thing, but I have no clue how to do it, where do I start?

[–] benni@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use the app Inoreader for that. No idea if it's the best, just the first one I tried and I'm happy with it.

Then you just subscribe to the feeds you are interested in. Almost every blog or news site has an RSS feed. Just make sure you don't subscribe to any that make dozens of posts per day, or you'll end up overwhelmed. My personal favorite feeds are the top 10 daily hacker news and a few youtubers I like.

I find it really annoying actually. I open the app and see a bunch of posts 24+ hours old that I've already read or don't care to read and they don't automatically hide when I vote on them

Ya, I'm like, "am I missing some setting or have I read literally all of lemmy?"
