I don’t know if I’ve experienced it before getting hooked on shorts, which I open, count to 50 bad videos and then close, only to open it again in hope of something good…

But the feeling is like that your consciousness is getting from the screen to the area behind your eyes and you suddenly see the edge of the phone, your hands, everything.

        I just tried a Lemmy instance and there’s clearly a “Next” button to press after x posts to load new ones. I assume you have that toggled to an infinite feed through some setting, so just reverse that.

        If you want proper paging, you can switch to Mbin. No need to abandon the idea and community of Lemmy to get away from infinite feeds. Edit: alternative Lemmy frontends might help as well.
