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?
I feel more the lack of my favorite communities that haven’t made the jump. Some alternative attempts exist here but are dead. I miss the variety of topics and random discovery as well.
I miss the /r/legaladvice drama and the fun on /r/bestoflegaladvice. That was my go-to “take a break and feel better about my life” sub where I would also learn things occasionally.
I’ll add I miss r/aspergirls dearly.
I also miss AskScience and AskHistorians and CongratsLikeImFive and dadswhodidntwantpets and Epilepsy and excatholic and HobbyDrama and HomeschoolRecovery and lotrmemes and TIFU and OutOfTheLoop and outside and Random_Acts_of_Pizza and SubredditDrama and sysadminhumor and WotchesVsPatriarchy 😔
They are still there, you can still participate if you want. Lemmy isn’t a religion, and I promise you will not be shunned and sent to hell if you hang out on Reddit for the subs you miss.
I’m not worried about being shunned or anything, my desire to open reddit just hasn’t overcome my distaste for the company yet.
Yeah that is always a shame. There are a few communities that I am missing still as well.
