New is nice to visit but I don’t think many could stay there. I’ve tried repeatedly to make it a habit but I don’t want to up vote that much furry art. And I want to participate in German memes because I recognize the format but I’m not good enough at German to fit in. And much of the news is too regional specific (so much so that New gives a good idea of how Atlanta, GA is doing hourly) which makes it irrelevant to me.

There are many reasons not to visit New. Pity votes for content that wouldn’t survive otherwise would make the overall tone of Lemmy feel sadder.
