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.

I suppose part of it is that a lot of Reddit content was repetitive, and also, because Lemmy is still much smaller, there are less mindless posts and comments, which make me take contributions more serious and cause me to be less frustrated about scrolling over comments which are only empty noise
