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

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?

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.
