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 find I miss a lot of current events, only browsing Lemmy. It seems Lazer-focused on whatever it’s currently worrying about, ignoring more timely news.

      I definitely don’t recommend solely relying on Lemmy as a news aggregator, solely because of its significantly smaller user base than something like reddit. I have found rss feeds to be more ideal to peruse local news, global news, tech updates, official blogs for different linux distros, etc. Feeder is the foss rss reader I use, off of fdroid. Then I like to share the stuff I like on both Mastodon and Lemmy
