I’ve gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

… and I can’t access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

    There’s an appeal to having limitless content, but it does become addictive. Having a slower pace is a good thing.

Lemmy gives me that feeling of being up to date with the internet without being endless which I think is much healthier.
