I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy (lemmy.world)

Maybe it's just because there's less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.

Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?

I feel like most of the critical news and politics makes it to the top political communities here, but without the 5000 articles of people rehashing the same stupid story over and over. If I read Lemmy world or beehaw news and politics, I have the gist of what’s going on.

Everything else is the meme trend of the week here. Not pooping, beans, vintage memes, Ohio, etc.

I'm looking for those top political communities. Where are you getting those?

The one I'm subscribed to has about one article per day.
