    The “hot” front page STILL has posts from days ago.

    I give it 3 days before people cave and go back. People will always find a way to get their dopamine fix. If lemmy doesn’t have what they want, suffering through the shitty Reddit app will be a cakewalk compared to giving up the habit altogether

      while Lemmy is modeled after Reddit in a lot of ways, the fediverse in general has a big opposition to unhealthy social media habits. dooomer scroll addictive algorithms that try to keep you hooked on the app as long as possible for max ad revenue will likely never happen.

      Some people will not like that, and it is fine. I’d prefer if they go rather than influence the platform in negative ways.
