I find that it's less addictive in the way there isn't an infinite pool of content. But much more interactive. So I can engage when it seems interesting but stop from doomscrolling. Its a great mix

Yup, doomscrolling reddit was extremely unhealthy for me. Since the inauguration I've spent at least 3 days literally just on Reddit. Like 10 hours straight and didn't leave my bed. I'm in a much better place now and Lemmy doesn't have that same effect on me.

I think being able to curate your own content does that. Its great that you can engage when you want and then drop out if you need to.
