Honestly: no.
But I must say that I wasnt enjoying reddit in the way I used to anymore. I used to scroll reddit in bed to wind down, mostly text posts (meaningful conversations) or cute animal pictures. Last few years it turned into doomscrolling with way too much video content like tiktok/reels/shorts. So I enjoy the text and image focus on Lemmy which also seems more civil (for now?).
Yeah doomscrolling started to be a real problem for me. I am a new(ish) father, so scrolling through /r/all was starting to give me some serious dread every day. I realized if I just scrolled through my subscribed subs and made sure there was nothing political there, my mental health went waaaaay way up. Like night and day difference, I became a much different (and better) person to be around.
