I’ve noticed I spend less time on Lemmy than I did on Reddit. Some of that may have to do with content, but I think it’s mostly Lemmy isn’t manipulating what I’m looking at to keep the dopamine hits coming. It definitely feels like withdrawal at times.
I am learning to appreciate the joy of opening Lemmy after I checked it a few hours ago and not seeing anything new and having the freedom to close the app again.

Yeah, it keeps me honest. If there’s nothing more to look at, I’m more apt to pick up a book or work on the side project more.
Just like the good old days. Check facebook book for the party and bounce. Long before algos and built in games.
