It really is! I was off for about three months, and I decided to go back to it just to be up-to-date with some friends and creators, right? Well, I was doom-scrolling for hours in about just a week of usage. Whenever that happens, I uninstall the app causing it, so I just deleted it again. The craziest part? After a couple of hours, I could feel the craving to open the app. Crazy shit.
I use instaDM. I am not able to see what other people post unless I go to their profile, but default won't show it anyway most of the time as it will mainly give short content videos so I just removed the feed altogether
EDIT: also try revanved manager with the disable scrolling patch
Sadly, I do not trust third party apps with my main account. There is so much to loose.
You can use Revanced Manager to patch it locally
