Lemmy is helping my scrolling addiction (self.general)

I used to be in reddit like.... All the fucking time. So much in there in so many niche subs you could scroll for hours and not see the same thing twice. Since lemmy is so much smaller and not as built up so much yet I'm not doom scrolling anymore.

Same. I’m nervous about if/when enough people make the switch and start actively commenting…I might get lost in the comments like I had on Reddit.

Agreed, Lemmy feels less addicting because it's has less content to mindlessly for me to scroll forever, but once this place gets more activity, I'll probably return to mindlessly scrolling as usual.
