I can be on here a LOT less than other apps and not feel like I'm addicted. I jump on to post a couple of things and scroll for a few minutes and I feel like I'm good for the day.
yeah that's probably because there's not very much content here. which I admit is good because lack of content equals reduced addiction.
I think it's also the fact that there's not any algorithm that's literally built to keep you doom scrolling.
Being able to check stuff once or twice a day without feeling like im missing out is nice. There are enough algorithms that i can get a slice of lemmy-life.
And there are enough algorithms to almost support my doomscrolling on a bad day
