When mindlessly browsing Reddit, I found that I usually just jump directly to the comments, read a couple, and continue. Lemmy seems a bit more curated (read: smaller), and therefore it’s easier to actually engage in discussions, which leads me to read the article, think critically about it, and respond (if I have something to say) in the comments–bigger is not always better!
I’ve noticed I was reliant on the TLDR bots that shorten news articles by like 70%.
I kinda miss them because of simplicity and efficiency, but I’m not minding the actual comment discussions
lemmy.world already has one: https://lemmy.world/u/tldrbot.
seems to work pretty good.

I sincerely hope that everything stays this way. Filtering, tagging and reporting users who constantly was posting those obnoxious low effort oneliners was basically becoming a full time job. It killed all the discussions in the bigger subs. It’s already obvious on some of the bigger instances/communities that some users unfortunately just switched platform.
Personally I didn’t like some of the popular bots like autotldr but I can see why other people did.
