I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy (lemmy.world)

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?

What would be an example of an addictive feature that could be added to Lemmy?

Infinite scrolling, karma, targeted content.

Infinite scrolling is a big one. I need to get out. Help.

I hate to be the one to do this to you, but old.lemmy.world has infinite scrolling... and is designed to look exactly like old reddit

Yeah but it's not a feature that is enabled by default.
