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?
it hasn’t attracted grifters who could “addictify” content to post yet perhaps?
Like you know it’s like health food, before people add extra sugar and salt and whatever to have people eat too much
tbh I don’t fall into rabbitholes here the way one may on Reddit, but I feel like the time I spend here is more worthwhile; So the analogy of Lemmy being healthy food, and Reddit being junk food makes sense to me.
