Anyone else feel that Lemmy just isn't addictive? (lemmy.world)

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?

There's way less content, and most of it is pretty nerdy due to the userbase.

There will never be a poop knife, or chili soap, or any of that here

What makes you say that there will never be "a poop knife"?

Only if people whine without making such content, then there never will be

Also no cumbox?

You need to subscribe to more communities. There's plenty of content here to keep me entertained for the day.

Y'all need to start sorting by top posts the past 6 hours. Changed Lemmy for me. Right now the algorithm for hot and active is too stale.
