I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy

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?

Reddit wasn't tailored to the user, the user tailored it to themselves (unless they were fool enough to use the official app).

It really is just that there's less content here, and the content there is isn't sorted particularly well via Hot. It's a WIP

How the Best and Hot algorithms work on Reddit is completely up to Reddit. They 100% tailor it to the user.
