do you also spend a lot less time on Lemmy compared to Reddit?

I've been splitting my old Reddit time across multiple sites and projects now. I'm pretty keen on watching the content at squabbles, they've generally got a really positive environment and nice pictures.

Also been working on improving kbin since it's open source, great to get some mobile centric changes to make everyone's experience a little better 🦙

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…

Can’t use reddit on phone, so when i’m not on my computer, it’s lemmin’ time!

I do spend much less time, but it’s a good thing. I was heavily addicted to Reddit. Lemmy scratches that itch, but it’s not completely dominating my focus like Reddit had been. It feels like a much healthier relationship I’m having with social media than I had before, and I’m experiencing significantly less anxiety day to day the past few weeks. I’m 100% a doom scroller.

I'd say a similar amount of time, but I post and comment significantly more here. And I like kbin's vibe a lot more than I did reddit's for the last few years, so I don't even miss it. This place is nice :)

I must say I find it the same time waster. I don’t miss Reddit at all

I spend more time on Lemmy. More interesting content, more commenting on my part.

I use it more than reddit at this point!

I use Kbin less, possibly due to a lower amount of content, but I surely use it way more deliberately

No

I think a big portion of it is the quality of the content and comments. Just not as much on there, and not as many of the small communities I would check.

I’ve noticed this too. Most of the stuff on Reddit’s frontpage has an angry undertone. Anger = Engagement.

since making the fediverse my new home; i learned that i spend an hour (maybe 2 max) before i run out of content and i can spend 4+ hours without noticing while scrolling reddit even though i no longer have an account there and can't participate in any conversations anymore.

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

I’d like for kbin/Lemmy to be a full substitute, but right now only meme subs on lemmy are taking off or getting significant traction. It’s actually sort of annoying and makes me not want to bother. Apps are rough, block tools are inconsistent, see tons of posts twice or more all day (would happen on Reddit too, but pretty rarely, when big news was relevant to several large subreddits). Until the smaller subs I frequented Reddit for in the first place start coming over, kbin/lemmy can’t realistically be a replacement. Just something I check for a few minutes to try to leave app feedback and contribute traffic where I can.

It will take a very good app and a couple more high profile niche subs (like /r/piracy) mostly shifting to the Fediverse to start a real migration.
