I have kind of the opposite experience. When I go on reddit, I feel depressed and angry, when I go on Lemmy I laugh and learn stuff. Probably the communities I subscribe to though. I get political and regional news from Reddit (and don’t have an actual reddit account anymore). I get funny science and Star Trek memes from Lemmy and cyber security and tech news.

Where are you that you are having these experiences? I find Lemmy hard to explore.

Most of the fun communities I’ve found are pretty dead so my feed is just full of world and tech news that is usually sad, aggravating, or misleading. No, I don’t need another story of battery technology I’ll never use on my feed.

mander.xyz for science articles and memes. startrek.website and tenforward@lemmy.world for star trek memes. cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works for cybersecurity news, but not a lot of discussion.
The self hosting communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are pretty active and good at answering questions.
