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?

In the past months, I was getting so many "you will probably like..."

No, I don't. Reddit, you're showing me irrelevant subs which prevent me from browsing the feed I curated.

It was so annoying...

i never saw the "you'll probably like..." messages; but i saw them in others' screenshots and it made me wonder why reddit's algorithm(s) didn't show it to me; i suspect it was because 99% of my subs were porn adjacent and they didn't want to advertise that.
