    Pretty good, I’ve been off of social media for a while but Lemmy looked intriguing enough to give it a try. I’m hoping it will be engaging without being addictive. So far I like it.

      Uh, well, in my experience Lemme is 100% addictive.

      You start to discover that Reddit lacked a lot of real people and now you have a ton of real people you’re conversing with

        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.
