do you also spend a lot less time on Lemmy compared to Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I caught myself loads of times scrolling on Reddit while not even paying attention, or while scrolling on Reddit to then close it immediately opening Reddit again to continue scrolling.

It felt just like any other social media app, scrolling mindlessly, for at least a few hours a day. I noticed this has changed since I've been using Lemmy, where I might spend 30 minutes a day on. I'm curious if other experience this too! It feels nice to be freed from Reddit.

Time wise, yes. But I engage more, instead of just lurk, because my comment won’t be buried under the sheer amount of comments. Also, the smaller communities have less activity at the moment, but it’s all good. I’m not reading as much bad content while navigating a slew of annoying crypto ads and sketchy ads for overpriced mindfulness retreats.
