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?

On Reddit when i browse r/all I I keep getting surprised on the different communities that exists. On lemmy so far I mostly see tech related stuff. I've ended up browsing both reddit and lemmy.

Tech related stuff and old memes*

I check lemmy and it has the same stuff day in and day out or three posts about the same exact thing on the front page for three days. Just not enough content for proper doom scrolling.
