Or at least less so than Reddit. It’s good, but, I can’t put my finger on it. Even when the content is good, the servers are up, and I’m getting notifications responding to comments, it’s never come to me doomscrolling for hours.

Edit: Guys, guys, I’m not trying to say Lemmy should be addictive or Reddit is better because it is. The opposite. I thought being addicted to something was always a bad thing? I was just curious as that I rarely ever see the content droughts people talk about, so I can scroll for as long as I want to with no interruptions, but unlike with Reddit, I don’t, and I would want to know a reason why. Is it psychological? Something behind the scenes? The type of people here?

    What this first wave has done is moved over a lot of early adopters, those types of people overlap with innovators.

    Lemmy improved massively during the wave, and we are now getting great apps.

    I for one will push for making signing up for an account in Thunder possible, so we can build better UX around joining Lemmy.

    Lemmy itself has also seen a big jump in quality. There is now Photon, an alternative frontend that’s a lot slicker, and can be installed by instances to replace the current webUI.

    The next time something triggers people to go look for something else, Lemmy will be looking a lot more ready.
