It's the opposite for me, actually. I use Lemmy far less than I ever used Reddit, so its easier to actually not feel so addicted.
Same except I still need to fill a void. So now I find myself browsing imgur and YouTube more than ever, and neither is any better than reddit. I may have a serious problem.
Totally possible! I try to fill the void with purposeful consumption, or getting things done.
I gave up Reddit and started on Lemmy, but also started speed cubing. Now when I have time to kill I'll just get my cube out instead of mindlessly scrolling.
I can now on average, solve a Rubik's cube in around 40 seconds.
Just an idea of how much time was consumed scrolling politics on Reddit
Absolutely! I've picked up reading, and finished the first full novel in years for me. I picked Dune, and actually enjoyed it a lot, even if I overall felt myself questioning if Frank ever knew a real woman in his life.
Dune is a damn good book! I lost interest around book 3 though
