Anyone else feel that Lemmy just isn't addictive?
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 feel like it's visiting a friendly village I love rather than getting lost in a city that's interesting because it's awful. Honestly, I come here as much as I did reddit at this point. Less flashy. More endearing.
There's good.things and bad things about it...
Personally, I'd begun to feel shackled by Reddit having gotten so overly moderated in recent years.
When someone is a fucking idiot and says idiot things I should be allowed to tell them they're a fuckin idiot.
Reddit started protecting the idiots' feelings over protecting people's right to tell them they're fucking idiots and maybe that's how the fediverse will become too since people have become so accustomed to it but I like being able to call out the stupidity as much as I like genuine engagement and informative content.
I hate a lot of the low effort I'm a comedian bullshit that reddit allowed to run rampant in the last few years because no one was allowed to tell them they're stupid.
For example... Lots of people think I'm the fuckin idiot...let them talk is still my point.
