You can’t really get addicted to fedi

Hmm... anxiously eyeing my Lemmy post history...

Yeah, I’m not as addicted to Lemmy as I was with Reddit, because there aren’t as many comments and niche communities and an algorithm messing with me, but like I check Lemmy throughout each day and if I’m honest there’s not much purpose aside from getting that hit.

I’m kinda in line with you, but I have noticed that there are more days and even weeks if I’m busy where I never look at Lemmy. I don’t think I went a full day without Reddit unless I specifically decided to for like a trip with an SO or family

Phew, I was getting a bit worried.

Could be worse. Could be flying squid.

I had some days that I spent hours debating with people, other days I just chill and chat with people, particularly on Mastodon.

and then theres.. Lemmy, I was probably addicted to the hardest. The score system would keep me checking it and i'd be interested in keeping my score up high. I'd even argue that it made me a better human being.

Partly why I use Voyager with page numbers. Gives you a clear stop point.
