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!

Yeah; I could cut and paste the url into NewPipe. But links seem to default to the Toob, and if I just want to get a quick glimpse to see if the material is worth my time, I can't be bothered.

I'm fairly certain you can set NewPipe as the default app for YouTube links, I think I've done it in the past. I'm just using Firefox now though, not too big into YouTube videos.
