Has anyone else been reading linked articles more often on Lemmy? (lemmy.ca)

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.
