I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy

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?

Infinite scrolling, karma, targeted content.

In some sense, Lemmy has targeted content since you can subscribe to communities. It’s just less aggressive.

Infinite scrolling is a big one. I need to get out. Help.

I hate to be the one to do this to you, but old.lemmy.world has infinite scrolling… and is designed to look exactly like old reddit

Yeah but it’s not a feature that is enabled by default.

The lack of karma is one of the reasons why I prefer lemmy over kbin.

Karma we can definitely do without. I don’t know of anyone who actually took it seriously anyway.

Bots took Reddit karma very seriously.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
