I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy (lemmy.world)

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?

The splintering, the difficulty of the federation relative to the easy UX of the silos, the normal pickup time of any new thing on the internet, but most of all, [unlike Reddit and every other platform], there is nothing in the server code which is designed to keep you here. Go play with your cat, and post a video of it.

    I'm contributing more- I made/mod a couple communities that I was missing and now I'm outside finding content for them more than inside scrolling.

    This is the way; if all follow the way, our future does return to an endless scroll, but one of ever-ascending quality and novelty using gentle pruning algorithms that we each control for ourselves.
