Maybe it’s just because there’s less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.
Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?

I feel like I am spending less time on Lemmy but am more satisfied with my time here.
On Reddit I would scroll endlessly. I’d find a comment or sentiment that was wrong and start typing out a reply, or once in a while a topic I knew about or had a story for. Then delete it because I don’t want to argue with an idiot and no one will ever see the comment because of the flood of “jokes”.
I feel like I can actually interact with the content here.
Well, picking an instance itself already requires a bit of technical knowledge which filters out most of the idiots. That combined with lack of karma counter makes an average Lemmy interaction more genuine and less karma whoring
Me too! I’m on kbin but same effect. I’m here less than I was on reddit but it feels like I’m actually interacting.
It’s also way more positive and less toxic.
