I feel like I have spent more time on Lemmy than I used to on Reddit per day, but that’s likely because of the novelty of it. I assume my usage will level back out to effectively the same as I had on Reddit.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I deleted my Reddit account after that idiot's comments about "landed gentry". Still trying to wrap my head around the fediverse!
Used to binge Reddit all day everyday. Now it’s Lemmy/Kbin instead and haven’t even thought going back to Reddit.
I’m enjoying it more than I thought
I have been on reddit more but with ublock origin installed and only to post John Oliver and to help with the protest. When the month is over I wont be posting any more to reddit.

I vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app
The only reasons I still go to Reddit now are to:
- shit on Reddit and promote Lemmy, using RIF on mobile and an adblocker on desktop so that they get $0 revenue from me;
- check out the tiny NSFW shitposting sub I'm in as I made some friends there.
For anything else I go straight to lemmy.world which is my new home now.
Right now its hard because you are going from a site with a lot of people posting all the time, and here its a lot fewer people contributing.
Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.
I only use reddit through Relay third party app, once it is gone, I cannot use reddit anymore, reddit without it is so bad that it is same to jump to Lemmy. So I am adjusting now and just using Lemmy/Jerboa.
Yeah I don't use Reddit much anymore. I made an account in Lemmy and cut down maybe 95% of Reddit, though I've tried not to replace the time in Lemmy but instead just do anything else. Actually it has been working surprisingly well.
I think I'll set up RSS feeder at some point and cut down it even further.
Yes, since yesterday I replaced Sync Pro on my screen with Jerboa, so I click it dozens of times per day. Today I haven't go on Reddit once.

As of now, yeppp
Haven't deleted my account... but I logged out of Reddit last week and haven't been back since.
Probably not going back either.
Ramping up the Lemmy usage. Once RIF goes down I'll be here for good.
I've abandoned Reddit ever since a couple days before the blackout and it's been really nice. It feels refreshing to be part of what seems to be an upcoming community.
I am for sure. I just head over for one maybe two subs that I cannot replace (yet), and only once or twice a day (instead of constantly).
Besides that may random scrolling and news related needs are fully satisfied by lemme.
I only use Lemmy now as a daily app, I just use Reddit as a glorified backlog (to search for some tech problem, or some product buying recommendation). For better or worse, there are a lot of useful information in there, but I won't actively engage with the website anymore.
I'm definitely spending more time on lemmy than reddit nowadays. Reddit still has too many great resources and info to abandon completely, but with more time to grow, hopefully lemmy will eventually replace reddit for me.
The challenge is that Reddit isn't just one community, it's a collection of lots of communities.
For stuff like random tech news and commentary, I'm already 100% happy with Lemmy. You don't need a huge community for people to post reviews of the latest gadgets and discuss them.
While I'm still boycotting Reddit, what I miss the most is some of the smaller communities, the ones that are only possible when you have millions of total users. Stuff like hyperlocal subreddits (there's not just one for my city, there's one for my NEIGHBORHOOD within my city), subreddits specifically for every one of my favorite TV shows, authors, and musicians, and subreddits for more niche topics I'm into like music theory or 3-D printing.
I'm trying to spend time on Lemmy hoping to build up the critical mass there. I'm starting with more mainstream topics that are likely to grow and attract a following, but what I'm really hoping for are the more niche ones.
Yes. The fact that I routinely view by All, and it's pleasant, is lovely.
I'd use Lemmy more if half the content wasn't about Reddit.
I just just visit reddit to read r/ModCoord, r/RedditAlternatives and related. I am visiting Lemmy daily but honestly I am still expecting to see more content. I am trying to colaborste summiting some things, something I never do in Reddit.
I check lemmy a few times per day, reddit now a few times per week, and only the few subreddits that have no good alternatives yet.
Pretty much haven't gone back to reddit at all. I've been trying to transfer to Lemmy, but getting much of my scrolling fix off instagram nowadays.
My only traffic to Reddit in over a week was search based. My only engagement was here and Facebook.
I miss Relay something awful. The mobile lemmy site has some strong inconveniences, the mobile app is missing some outright features.
I'd still rather be here than there.
I’m new here, is it stupid that I made an account here and on kbin.social?
