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?

For me it's the ridiculous amount of alt left/communist comments in EVERY thread. Even blocking the worst offending instances I still get a frankly insane amount of comments from delusional people thinking we should all give up our personal possessions and everyone just magically have access to everything at no cost to anyone.

Is someone missing the taste of laziness? This is exactly what I'm talking about. You retards can't help but comment. You have no plan. You deny reality. You just want but don't want to put in the work to actually do anything. Someone told you something about Marx and because you lack the ability to do any actual research you just clump together and scream on here.
