When scrolling Lemmy (compared to reddit in the past), all I see is doom and gloom / news. I don't see interesting conversations or comments to read.

Occasionally I'll find something, and I've been contributing more, but there's just so much doom that it fills my feed.

I've had to unsubscribe from many communities bc it's just doom news reposts..

Is it just me?

I'm tired of the "DAE" posts that got banned in reddit, and I understand why. There's usually a better way to express this opinion.

To entertain this though, this is an internet wise concept, we're aware of "doomscrolling" for a reason. There's not really a reason to think Lemmy or some other platform would be wildly different.
