Wait your app isn’t like this?
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.
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.
