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.

Im beginning to use lemmy more and more and preferring it over reddit. Its much better, conversationally and without the suggested Jesus and Army and Navy ads etc. However my usage is still similar to reddit, ie scrolling and reading alot of things and memes etc. But the conversational interactions seem alot more productive, i like that.

I’d like to to spend the same time on Lemmy, but then I just see the same posts all over again.

Yeah cuz I tend to run out of content quicker, but it gets refilled quite a bit throughout the day

100％. I was so addicted to reddit I would, like you said, open it without even noticing I did it. It was really shocking to me how many hours a day I was pissing away reading the reposts of bots and the thoughts of teen edge lords. The protests came at a great time, havent been back since (my sub is still on private hehe…) anyway, popping in here is fun and everything but I dont think it’ll ever get as bad as it was.

Nope. I spend significantly more time, attempting to engage and energize this community. :)

I spend more time on Lemmy, but that’s mostly because I admin an instance.

not sure if more or less, but the time spent here is 100% more enjoyable. With corporate social media there’s always this vague sense of brain-rot going on in the background. Don’t feel this here. Actually had some nice conversations over the fast few weeks.

Yes. Like others have said, the content hasn’t quite caught up in volume or diversity.

But I think another factor is that when I fire up Lemmy, it feels like r/all in that I’m getting everything. There seem to be quite a number of meme-themed subreddits communities that dominate my All feed. Now that I think about it, I should probably make the effort to block those; I’ve made that effort on kbin.

In a way, I think it might be nice to have something equivalent to r/popular, fwiw.

Minor nit: “community” (“magazine” on kbin) doesn’t have the same ‘zing’ as “subreddit”. We need something like “sublemmy” or “sublem”.

My browsing time has reduced significantly. My user experience during browsing has improved vastly.

Mostly cuz there’s a lot less stuff to do here. A lot of my favorite communities haven’t migrated over yet., and the ones that are here aren’t very active. The ALL feed seems to be mostly news, politics, and old memes, nothing I really care for.

I spend a lot more time in Lemmy. The conversations here are engaging and intelligent and I actually learn something. Reddit on the other hand was overwhelming as your comment can easily be drowned out by thousands of comments and shit comments.

I enjoy my time here. And Reddit? What is a Reddit? Never heard of it…

No, I spend more time here.

I actually am spending about the same amount of time on Lemmy as I used to on reddit, modulo interesting posts for me to interact with.

I think I’m still getting used to lemmy and navigating around I think subconsciously I am put off by this… Once I get the hang of it I am sure my habits will go back.
