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?

If all communities were decently active I'd agree. But I have some topics I've followed 5+ communities for yet never see posts about on my feed. But to fill in the more niche communities will require more users, which then takes away the slow pace.

At the end of the day, I'd rather have a shit ton of content and practice self control rather than not having anything to read.

I found that in those cases, making a few posts myself (one a day or so, no spamming) with relevant discussion prompts helped those communities get off the ground and drew out lurkers. You can also cross-post to all the communities with a couple of clicks, and just see where bites. Idk what topics you're here for but it might be worth a try.
