I used to be in reddit like.... All the fucking time. So much in there in so many niche subs you could scroll for hours and not see the same thing twice. Since lemmy is so much smaller and not as built up so much yet I'm not doom scrolling anymore.
Agreed, Lemmy feels less addicting because it's has less content to mindlessly for me to scroll forever, but once this place gets more activity, I'll probably return to mindlessly scrolling as usual.
