It seems good enough to pass the time to me. But the niche communities on here just aren't as active, or the discussions not as rich. For example the stable diffusion sub I visit hardly gets traffic, and it's mostly people posting pictures. Whereas on Reddit, the was more news and discussions about workflow and resources.

Reddit is crack ... because it took years of cocaine use before users converted it into crack

Lemmy right now is just cocaine .... just keep using it for a few years and you'll eventually start turning the cocaine into crack ... it's still an addiction but right now we believe that we can manage the addiction and use it and not use it at will .. give it time and we will eventually get to the point of doom scrolling endless content like a helpless crack addict. Enjoy Lemmy while you can, we are building a tolerance and we will eventually want to ramp up our usage in a few years and whore ourselves out for the next hit.

Have you tried snorting it?

You say this like it's a bad thing.

That's because there's no drama here. On reddit there's non stop controversy and sub drama and that kind of shit is addicting whether you realize it or not.

Do any apps provide native notifications yet? I'd love to get alerts in my notifications bar rather than having to open the app and go through each account.

Nah mate I'm refreshing the Top Hour sort every 30 minutes

Lemmy isn't giving you that dopamine hit you want? That's likely due to the smaller nature of the Fediverse. Enjoyable content without the feeling your missing something.

I got stuck in a scroll-loop while trying to go to bed last night... granted, I broke out of it faster than I usually would on Reddit.

I either get downvoted hard or upvoted hard so it's kind of addictive that way
