Probably. But it's not as bad as I was addicted to Reddit. In some sense Lemmy has helped me though to get rid of that addiction.
My addiction is reddit-style content aggregators. My current drug of choice is Lemmy.
I could very easily quit if I were going back to reddit. And I quit reddit much easier than I thought I would with Lemmy to take its place.
But I would not easily be able to quit both without replacement.
Is the Lemmy high just as good? Or is it the Reddit methadone?
Lemmy fires just the right synapses... at least for me. Reddit was becomming more like "scroll, scroll scroll, oh here's something interesting... no, it's not that interesting... scroll, scroll, scroll".
It's not as good, but it's still a lot better than I expected it to be before I joined. Once it has 5-10x the current userbase I think it'll be just as good.
One of my favorite things on reddit was being able to click on an interesting post, then just read dozens and dozens of other peoples' comments. I find that like 70% of the posts I find interesting here have like 0-3 comments.
There are some growing pains too - for example, I wrote this reply up, then upvoted you, and upvoting you deleted my message so I had to retype it.
No, i can stop whenever i want. Oh no.
I'm more addicted to my phone, it's just lemmy is what's easiest to continuously scroll through at this point.
Nope. I can stop whenever I like.
Fully in control.
Nothing to see here.
I'm sorting by New and refreshing all day.
Yeah, I do New all the time, don't know why people don't recommend that option more often 🤷.
I dont think I'm addicted yet, but I'm certainly been checking Lemmy more often than I used to check Reddit. Also I'm active on Mastodon while I barely used to touch Twitter. It's because its something new and fresh and active. I'll probably tire of it soon.
Fuck me sideways I had no idea I actually liked microblogging until I got on Mastodon. I always thought "Twitter just wasn't my kind of site" but I really really enjoy Mastodon
I'll probably tire of it soon.
Yeah, this is something that ticks people off for some reason... like they expect you to be married to the social network or something. It's not interesting for me any more, I don't visit it, get over it.
Same.
Yes, so much that my only usable app for now is Lemmy Connect because it handles read post better than others, and I have read all my feed already.
My addiction to Reddit has been all but replaced by an addiction to Lemmy.
I have not visited Reddit for couple of weeks and I do visit Lemmy multiple times a day. So, yes? 😅
Not really, I check in from time to time and at work I have a tab open for Lemmy.
I can stop using Lemmy anytime I want.
Yet, here we are 😅
Yes
Don't call me out so soon bruh. Lemmy have this.
Somewhat... like i find ways to escape work and obligations even for a short while, to browse Lemmy 😁. Yeah, that seems like an additction 😂.
I guess?
🤔
Yeah, stats are in that ball park for me as well 😂.
No, but im far more active here than i ever was on reddit. We are creating something great here
No. It still doesn't have all the communities and engagement that Reddit has. I used ReVanced on my app to keep using Reddit. But I am on it less as I try to spend my time on Lemmy first and only after then fall back to Reddit.
There's not enough content yet for me to be addicted, (un)fortunately.
Getting there.

Give me a minute, I'm working on it!
