Lemmy has infinite scrolling too so if lemmy get big it will have the same legal issue
There’s a big difference between infinite scrolling content that’s using algorithms to specifically keep you scrolling and how Lemmy does it. On Lemmy that’s a you problem not a capitalism problem.
It is subjective. I personally spend more time on non algorithmic feed than algorithm one. It is boring to keep seeing the same time of content most of the time
I don’t think Lemmy (or any text based platform) really fits the bill
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.
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.
Not really, i have hit the limit 2 3 times. Maybe its a voyager feature but it definitely has a limit
Nonsense.
Well crafted counter argument
Just some guis/apps, and it’s mostly optional
