Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?
Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
Connect on Android has been key for tidying up my feed and allowing blocks by user, community, or instance.
Seconded, I'm loving Connect.
Good point. I should stop using my social media as my news outlet.
