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.
Exactly my thoughts! I don't have any fear of missing out here. It can get overwhelming trying to catch up on posts when there's just too many. I subscribed to a lot of communities on the fediverse after joining, but I think I'll have to leave a few soon as they become more popular...
Edit: it also keeps me from wasting too much time on the internet lol
