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?
I mean, yea, there isn’t nearly as much interesting content. And with the way the “Everything” sort works you end up seeing the same thing 100 times across the 100 different similar subreddits each instance has. Honestly lemmy kind of sucks as a reddit replacement. Trying to find the next option.
Yeah I’m glad it’s not Reddit redux. Feels more like Reddit used to be for me, which I preferred.
You’d get a similarly repetitive/Incoherent experience if you had a feed of every single new post to reddit, except that one would be expanding at a rate of thousands of posts per second, and most of them would be porn. This is why they Invented the subscription feed
The subscription feed is very difficult to populate though. Itt isn’t easy to try to find things you are interested in without browsing everything and hoping to stumble across it.
