You have social media addiction, but there is only enough new content to support 20 minutes of doom scrolling every evening

Oh, gods yes. Never looked back. This place is like reddit, but with the chill, friendly vibes of Usenet.

I actually scroll through lemmy a lot more than 20 minutes. So the content here has clearly grown.

People on the fediverse should post more pictures of the food they are eating. That would really turn things around here.

I’m addicted to crack, but it’s fine since it’s organic locally-sourced fairtrade crack

Me trying to infinite scroll but the algorithm is just new posts in chronological order. What is this, a reasonable platform that I don’t feel like using 24/7?

Me- Top 6 hours. Browse on and off throughout the day, then when I get low on content I hit top 6 hours again and keep going. But I’m not on my phone that much especially on work days.

I set my front page to Top 24 Hours, that’s what my Reddit front page was set to so it’s mainly for familiarity.

Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s the algorithms, but I do notice a difference in how I feel after spending time on the Lemmy or Mastodon vs Instagram or LinkedIn

Idk what your feed looks like but if it’s like mine-- posts hyping ai juxtaposed with posts from artists that are (rightfully) upset that their work is being used without their consent to train generative ai in a push to replace artists or devalue their work-- linkedin can feel pretty dire and soul sucking.

I mainly do it to see if there are any new security breaches at LinkedIn.
