I've had Antenna and Geddit subscribed in my Lagrange sidebar for a while, but I think it's time to move them over to just plain bookmarks.
Antenna is really cool, and a great showcase of the variety of what's actively being published in Gemini space, but it's also a bit of a firehose. That's great when you're checking in on it from time to time, but subscribing to it just kind of drowns out everything else.
To be fair, I don't think it's really how Antenna was meant to be used -- I just susbcribed to it because I could!
Geddit is a bit less active just by virtue of being curated by readers rather than writers, but again, it's just active enough to make you miss the things you want to keep track of if they're all in the same list.
It just goes to show: even when you pare things down, information overload can still be an issue if you use it wrong!
