Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight algorithm addiction
-
It's just two taps in browser to get it on home screen.
-
If someone made this for TV Tropes, I would never get anything productive done again
-
Just got the app it's absolutely fantastic.
-
This is awesome. :3
-
Web 1.0 cures web 2.0 again.

Jesus. Enough hyperbolic nonsense. Browsing Wikipedia is way healthier than doom scrolling.
-
We're here to help! We just need someone to implement doomscroll / infiniscroll into Lemmy, lol.
-
Yeah this is just the wiki random button with a simplified TikTok gui.
Pretty much a useless site which is a shame since I was excited about it.

If methadone was also educational

"Some people just wanna watch the world learn."
-
Everyday I read wikipedia and everyday, I learn something new. Fucking love this free resource
-
...so.... content filters when? Let me limit it to certain subjects and I don't need social media anymore
-
On iOS through Safari:
Tap the Share icon
Scroll down a little.
Add to Home Screen.
Profit? -
I see the dev don't want recommendation algorithm. All good to avoid the recommendation bubble, but a category/tags might be nice instead of random everything.
-
The addiction isn't being defeated, it's just being redirected from something worthless to something useful. Well, at least less useless.
-
And doomscrolling Wikipedia is still healthier than doomscrolling anything else.
-
Honestly the fact that Lemmy doesn't have infinite scroll (on my UI, at least) has helped me a lot in terms of not wasting hours at a time on my phone
-
That's actually really cool. I like that the dev has expressed that he doesn't want to make the algorithm addictive and just keep it random
