Do you not think some people doomscroll lemmy, only reading titles and looking at image posts?

Sure, there are those people, but that’s not the point here. Lemmy doesn’t enforce some arbitrary short length to its posts in an attempt to force the users to engage more with the platform instead of the actual content. The same cannot be said of tiktok or twitter, for example.

Maybe but it’s not the point of it. An infinite scrollable shorts/tiktok like is meant to be doomscrolled

I watch YouTube shorts sometimes, the algorithm gives me mostly comedy, usually some type of shketch where one person plays all the characters. I’ve also seen quick tip or educational videos, outdoor clips. None of what I engage with is doomscroling.

1 - Even when educational you can’t retain all the infos that these short videos give you

2 - Log out of YouTube, and watch the default YouTube shorts feed, you would be amazed how this is a concentrate of shitty posts.
