I know that we NEED more content at Kbin, Lemmy and all the Fediverse in order for them to grow and substitute Reddit and other networks, but sometimes I just feel really happy that I can open my app and read almost everything that was posted in the last few hours without being suffocated by a billion of new posts.

It controls my anxiety, helps me keep up to date and even makes me want to search for new content and post/interact more.

EDIT: For example, at Instagram, there’s so much content being posted every second, that I never spend more than 5 minutes with the app open.

    (There is something to be said about the sweet spot where you feel like you can have a conversation with a small group of people, instead of shouting into a hurricane of 800 comments)

    This is my favorite thing about where we’re at right now. It’s neat to see the same names in different threads across different instances… it feels more personal, more like the “early internet” did. Compare this to Reddit where you only recognize names because they’re names of people who make 100+ posts a day and you can’t avoid them even if you want to. Positive recognitions are a lot more fun than negative ones.
