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.
Nope, the same amount of time
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.
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.
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 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.
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 must say I find it the same time waster. I don't miss Reddit at all
Only thing that happened was lemmy replaced Reddit. I lurk more now though.
Yeah it's slower with less people. Reddit I scrolled to find stuff, where as I use lemmy to post things i find
Can't use reddit on phone, so when i'm not on my computer, it's lemmin' time!
I spend a lot more time on it since I am an instance admin. (not on this account or instance though)
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 :)
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 use Kbin less, possibly due to a lower amount of content, but I surely use it way more deliberately
I spend more time on Lemmy. More interesting content, more commenting on my part.
I use it more than reddit at this point!
