Or at least less so than Reddit. It’s good, but, I can’t put my finger on it. Even when the content is good, the servers are up, and I’m getting notifications responding to comments, it’s never come to me doomscrolling for hours.
Edit: Guys, guys, I’m not trying to say Lemmy should be addictive or Reddit is better because it is. The opposite. I thought being addicted to something was always a bad thing? I was just curious as that I rarely ever see the content droughts people talk about, so I can scroll for as long as I want to with no interruptions, but unlike with Reddit, I don’t, and I would want to know a reason why. Is it psychological? Something behind the scenes? The type of people here?
Reddit is crack … because it took years of cocaine use before users converted it into crack
Lemmy right now is just cocaine … just keep using it for a few years and you’ll eventually start turning the cocaine into crack … it’s still an addiction but right now we believe that we can manage the addiction and use it and not use it at will … give it time and we will eventually get to the point of doom scrolling endless content like a helpless crack addict. Enjoy Lemmy while you can, we are building a tolerance and we will eventually want to ramp up our usage in a few years and whore ourselves out for the next hit.
