  Wait your app isn’t like this?

    Nope. I turned off infinite scroll in the settings. I use the Voyager app, which paginates the feed when configured to do so.

    It has infinite scroll. It’s not highly personalized like tiktok, it has auto play but there’s FAR more text posts than videos, and the push notifications are far less extreme (is there even a setting to get push notifications for every upvote, like tiktok enables automatically?). Lemmy really isn’t anything like tiktok.

    Did you miss the “autoplay and highly personalised recommender system”? Those are the two big major differences and what makes people so addicted to tiktok etc. in a much worse way than forums in all forms (like reddit and lemmy). Reddit and Lemmy doesn’t have any thing that curates what you see based on your habits, that’s done by yourself or not at all.

      I’m pretty sure Reddit curates the content of r/popular based on your browser history.

  Lemmy has a ton of media tho, its not entirely text based.

    But the algorithm isn’t extremely personalized or optimized towards “engagement”. In fact the only fediverse platform that comes close is Loops, and even that is light-years away from the psychological manipulation that goes into Tiktok algorithms.

      100% agreed, my only quibble was calling Lemmy a text based site.

        It can be text based and still contain images and video, no?

  I don’t think the EU would ignore it if it was only infinite scroll

    Are you sure? They have been ignoring virtually everything with infinite scrolling. TikTok is the extremely rare exception where they actually address it.
