do you also spend a lot less time on Lemmy compared to Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

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.

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.
