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?

    Lemmy has zero monetary gain from you being addicted to the platform unlike Reddit.

    Lemmy’s smaller community means that there’s not an endless stream of content to keep you hooked.

    Even with millions of active users though I don’t see Lemmy being nowhere near as addicive as Reddit

      We need to up the porn a little to beat reddit. Let’s be honest, porn is what wins technology battles. Plus using the reddit app to look at stuff is just fucking miserable. I don’t even look at that much but being single currently, it’s what I got.

        It’s not going to happen as most instances will defed as it’s not worth having the legal hassle of hosting porn on their own server, including possibly illegal material depending on where they’re located. It isn’t hard to find porn on the internet, we don’t really need it here too.

        Yep, not to mention it’s hard to find here. Even if I put on all, I can’t find any. Plus there aren’t that many people posting any even on those instances specifically for it.
