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.

    I’m on kbin (I think it has much better algorithm that lemmy, and magazines/communities look more active even though it is the same network) and tildes.net.

    Initially I felt like I had to visit reddit, but over past days lemmy/kbin feels more and more active. Still not like reddit, but active enough to not feel the need to go to reddit. It’s possible that maybe I just found right communities that I’m interested in, or numer of people increased, or both.
