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?

What would be an example of an addictive feature that could be added to Lemmy?

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

Bots took Reddit karma very seriously.

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

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.

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