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.
Yes, but only because the communities I used to be part of on reddit just aren’t the same here, in number of users or content. Maybe that will change, and I hope it does, but I keep seeing people being put off as Lemmy has been down so much or people have trouble creating an account and give up. I don’t dislike that Lemmy is smaller, it’s nice to have more real conversations with people, but the subreddit I used the most was my local city’s, and there just isn’t another space like that online. I miss it.
