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.
The only reason I use Lemmy less than I used reddit is the lack of content, I was following so many subreddits that every time I sorted by new I could scroll for hours before I hit the posts I’d seen last time I opened the app. Here there just aren’t as many communities and a lot of the ones I’m following are dead so my feed is just the same 20 posts every time I open it.
I probably had only around 70 subs in my list of Reddit. On lemmy, I have 274.
This a thousands percent.
Agreed, but it seems to be improving
