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.

    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.
