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?
Absolutely. I second the heavy use of blocking communities using an app. If you still want exposure to news you can consider downloading a couple news apps and checking them once or twice a day. You will still see the shittier aspects of humanity but at least you can do it when you choose to.
