      Think of it as a methadone clinic for doomscrollers.

            Honestly the fact that Lemmy doesn’t have infinite scroll (on my UI, at least) has helped me a lot in terms of not wasting hours at a time on my phone

            I’ve got news for you: basically every app I’ve used so far for lemmy has infinite scroll. Currently Thunder previously Sync.

          Jesus. Enough hyperbolic nonsense. Browsing Wikipedia is way healthier than doom scrolling.

            And doomscrolling Wikipedia is still healthier than doomscrolling anything else.
