Maybe it’s just because there’s less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.
Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?
After spending a couple years barely online, I honestly have no idea what the hell is going on anymore onlilne.
The subreddit I was active have not migrated to Lenny at all so I guess I will have to not scrolling like crazy anymore
Maybe. I feel like I like scrolling lemmy a lot more and I get that old reddit vibe of “lets go scrolling” pretty often. I’m excited to chat about whatever on here.
I don’t understand. How is Lemmy not a form of social media?
It is, but they are spending less time on lemmy than they did on reddit.
Well I didn’t spend a that much time on Reddit, I actually spend more time here because I reply a lot more and find stuff I’m more interested in reading.
Same. I enjoy it
Me too! I really like it. It makes me feel fresher and more open to the world around me.
I always browsed r/all, I subbed to a bunch but only went to them occasionally. I’m in it for the mindless scrolling in downtime and news.
I miss always having new content. I was almost 100% reddit anyway and now it’s 100% Lemmy just with less content so inherently I spend less time.
I know technically I could be a contributor to content but it’s just not me. I think I had ten total reddit comments the whole 14 years I was using it. It’s not my thing.
I’m spending more time. I never browsed beyond my niche subs on redsit.

I’m the same, used to spend hours scrolling but use it only about half an hour. Quite happy about breaking the cycle.
