Lemmy is helping my scrolling addiction (lemmy.world)

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.

I agree, it's helped my mental health and is helping me with other hobbies I've been meaning to pick up. Which is ridiculous, because I would subscribe to subreddits for those hobbies, but would never actually engage with them, then feel like a lazy dickhole.
