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?

I feel like the Fedverse has the same problem that IRC has. There's (by design) no easy way to discover communities outside of your instance. You can search, and to an extent get relevant results, but there's no cross-instance (and cross- service) /r/all equivalent to help new users find communities they're interested in. Seems like if that piece could be figured out, the entire thing would be in a better place. You might end up with the endless scrolling issue again, but with enough visibly into communities, you might just be able to keep focused only on the ones you're truly interested in

Have you switched from local to all? Pretty sure it works like that.

I think it does too but not 100%. I feel like I see communities in All that don't appear in search and vice versa. I guess my point is that even this is a bit off-putting for non-technical users
