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?

Karma we can definitely do without. I don't know of anyone who actually took it seriously anyway.

Bots took Reddit karma very seriously.

The lack of karma is one of the reasons why I prefer lemmy over kbin.

Infinite scrolling is a big one. I need to get out. Help.

I hate to be the one to do this to you, but old.lemmy.world has infinite scrolling... and is designed to look exactly like old reddit

Yeah but it's not a feature that is enabled by default.

In some sense, Lemmy has targeted content since you can subscribe to communities. It's just less aggressive.
