I'll try to dial back my time on lemmy because I've noticed that I spend way, way more time here than I ever did back on reddit

Yes.

On Reddit I had two specific groups i visited and thats it.

Here I tend to browse and read ALL, as there's not enough traffic in the grouos I am interested in.

[-] Sparkles@fedia.io 3 points 11 months ago

Not really, I stop in and chat a bit on posts I find interesting. On Reddit I doomscrolled.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

I spend a little less on average due to the slower flow of content.

But I spend more time writing somewhat in depth comments and actually interacting with lemmy, I'd wager. Reddit was high volume but outside of my niche mechanics subreddits I wouldn't comment much more than memes and one liners.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago

quite less actually, since theres less content, plus i blocked alot of people lemmy for obvious trolling, tanking, which lemmy has very little users already. so i just wait til later in the night to acess lemmy. on reddit i was on it every chance i could get.

[-] Katrisia@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago

No, I like reading and writing here, but I spend a lot of time watching short videos. It's a constant bombardment of interesting facts (mixed with some news, memes, trends...); it's stimulating.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

As I avoid Reddit like the plague? Yeah.

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

Way less, because there isn't nearly the amount of content here.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I probably spend about the same amount of time here as I did on Reddit.

[-] JohnWorks@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

I don't comment or vote on reddit anymore. I use them both a similar amount I'd think. If I ever have to do research into a topic though the answer is almost always on reddit.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 11 months ago

reddit keeps track of it apparently, downvote, commenting and posting, they try to arbitrarily(through Ai) to see if your a bot, or spamming.

[-] JohnWorks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah these days it feels a lot more high stakes to do anything on reddit since if you vote on the wrong thing you can get banned and if you comment on the wrong thing you can also get banned lmao. Easiest option is to just not participate.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

About the same for me. Can't possibly use it more than 24/7 without doing Superman levels of physics fuckery to add more days to the week. 🤷‍♂️

[-] ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

I only ever used Reddit via web, but on Lemmy I have Mlem, which has increased my mobile use a ton

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I spend about as much time as I did on reddit, but it depends on how the content is day to day.

I still read certain things on reddit when search engines take me there, but that's mainly for niche things that aren't super popular here. Mainly the Gloryhammer and AllTheMods subs tbh.

[-] calliope@retrolemmy.com 2 points 11 months ago

Same for me! For niche hobbies, Reddit still has a lot of valuable older information. That might change though.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 11 months ago

Yup. Mostly because reddit was mostly about mmos for me and then pathfinder but im on the fediverse more generally.

[-] nanoswarm9k@lemmus.org 2 points 11 months ago

More time than new reddit, less time than old reddit.

I was pretty active in comments for the first 8 years or something. Had a post or two hit front page.

No dinosaurs bringing up Digg?

[-] msokiovt@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

I read things on Reddit sometimes (using Eddrit or RedLib) to narrate for Cocules Reddit Readings. Otherwise, I don't even use Reddit (nor do I have an account on that toxic slop).

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

No, but that's because I add a lot of friction so I don't spend much time on social media. So I only access Lemmy by website from my phone. It's pretty inconvenient, just the way I want it.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

I don't spend any time on this website at all because I have 1 billion dollars.
