Asklemmy

I think a big portion of it is the quality of the content and comments. Just not as much on there, and not as many of the small communities I would check.

Nope, the same amount of time

I'm on kbin (I think it has much better algorithm that lemmy, and magazines/communities look more active even though it is the same network) and tildes.net.

Initially I felt like I had to visit reddit, but over past days lemmy/kbin feels more and more active. Still not like reddit, but active enough to not feel the need to go to reddit. It's possible that maybe I just found right communities that I'm interested in, or numer of people increased, or both.

I actually find myself spending more time here, to the point to where I might have to take a break because it's starting to become unhealthy.

I think the reason why is since there are less posts per volume, it's easier to read through everything. Since the communities are smaller, the news and discussion is more focused. And because a lot of the more tech savy and activist minded individuals made the switch over to lemmy, I find it easier to have more nuanced conversation than on reddit.

However some of my bad habits from reddit are starting to resurface here, and I probably need to start regulating my time here. At the very least, I feel like I get a lot more out of my time and participation here.

since making the fediverse my new home; i learned that i spend an hour (maybe 2 max) before i run out of content and i can spend 4+ hours without noticing while scrolling reddit even though i no longer have an account there and can't participate in any conversations anymore.

I am using Lemmy way more, the only time I go back to Reddit is when there is literally no new content on Lemmy lol.

I do spend much less time, but it's a good thing. I was heavily addicted to Reddit. Lemmy scratches that itch, but it's not completely dominating my focus like Reddit had been. It feels like a much healthier relationship I'm having with social media than I had before, and I'm experiencing significantly less anxiety day to day the past few weeks. I'm 100% a doom scroller.

~~No, since I can't sensibly use Reddit on my phone.~~
I misread - yes, I use Lemmy somewhat less now than I used to use Reddit. Which is probably a good thing^^

I use it more than reddit at this point!

I am starting to. Still browse Reddit occasionally for the communities that are not in here yet.

Reddit as a whole seems a lot less populated. Example, the r/android sub is nowhere near as active as it used to be.

I must say I find it the same time waster. I don't miss Reddit at all

I use Kbin less, possibly due to a lower amount of content, but I surely use it way more deliberately

Yeah it's slower with less people. Reddit I scrolled to find stuff, where as I use lemmy to post things i find

Only thing that happened was lemmy replaced Reddit. I lurk more now though.

I spend a lot more time on it since I am an instance admin. (not on this account or instance though)

maybe less, though i’ve also been spending less time on social media like that lately anyways. though i do like lemmy, reddit has a lot more content in general and subs for my more niche interests (mostly battlejackets), so i do find myself scrolling there a fair amount. it tends to be a more conscious decision though, which is good, and i tend to stick to only a few subs that i really like. less mindless scrolling, more hunting for inspiration and conversation.

I’d say I still spend more time on Reddit just because there’s some niche communities there that haven’t (and probably won’t) moved to Lemmy. I have been using Lemmy more often though. I stopped using it for a couple weeks after the initial push when the blackouts started on Reddit just because of the lack of content and good mobile apps. This week I’ve used it a lot more after being pleasantly surprised at how much more activity and content there was after just a couple of weeks and now there’s a lot of great mobile apps to choose from. Went from Voyager to Memmy. Both are trying to capture the magic Apollo had (and both are doing a really good job I have to say) but it’s hard to beat the native app experience which Memmy gives. It is really cool that I can self-host Voyager though.

I'd say a similar amount of time, but I post and comment significantly more here. And I like kbin's vibe a lot more than I did reddit's for the last few years, so I don't even miss it. This place is nice :)

I spend more time on Lemmy. More interesting content, more commenting on my part.
