I get it, and that is a totally valid experience that you and probably many other people have had, but I personally never considered myself to be doomscrolling when seeing what was new with the Haskell programming language, going through what crazy experience people have had playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup lately, learning from the the really insightful in-depth explanations of history that were posted to AskHistorians, and so on. I do not consider the subtraction of these things from my life to have ultimately been a benefit, it just makes me feel less in the loop about the things that I care about.

I've seen some people talking about how the lemmy developers are planning for the ability to "group" communities (of the same name or something like that) on different instances together.
I'm taking this as those communities then forming one community that doesn't have to rely on a single instance's community to "survive".
Haven't put too much thought into this but I think that would at least lessen that problem, especially for new niche subjects popping up. The difficulty for existing niche communities starting anew here will probably remain but I'm hopeful for the future.

That does sound like a reason to be hopeful for the future. Thank you for telling me about this.
