We all get bored sometimess and scroll mindlessly through various social media feeds, like instagram (fuck you), reddit (fuck you) or lemmy (no offense, love you guys).
Most of the time content is a wild mix of everything, from news to memes and educational stuff, and very hard to filter out.
Is there anything out there that contains educational stuff only? where you can just sit there, scroll through it and learn something. thinking of like a short text or image showing some facts, or some math examples, or physics, or whatever.
Well TikTok actually has a pretty good algo (At least awhile ago, it might have become enshittified since) once you use it enough to train it beyond the default new profile feed.
When I was on it, I had gotten the algo to spit out mostly cool educational stuff. Like chemical fun, space stuff, Hank Green stuff, technical things (Like programming tips, cybersecurity, homelab etc) and other nerdy things (Like Star Trek stuffs) with a bit of memes sprinkled in
I don’t agree with the other commenters about books, I see what you’re asking for at least, books are more for when you want to dive more in depth in a specific topic
Nope to TikTok since I don’t want an algo deciding what I get to see and what not, and this sounds identical to Instagram, more or less
If you don’t want an algorithm to decide for you then you’re not looking for a scroll. Even Lemmy has an algorithm. You’re looking for a library card.
You’re looking for an algo of some kind, that’s what enables the “endless scrolling”. Instagram stories or whatever their TT clone is called is definitely much worse than TT itself, yea it’s an algo but I can tell you that it’s algo is really good at sticking to things that are of interest to you (Provided you are at least a bit mindful of what you’re watching during it’s training phase)
If you really don’t want an algo of any kind, then I’ll have to agree with others, what you want is a book.
It’s still pretty good, especially with the Revanced version that cuts the ads and trackers
