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 spend more time on Lemmy, but that's mostly because I admin an instance.

Same. But even before that I was spending a ton of time as a regular user trying to generate activity. I think I'm finally starting to relax a little bit because Lemmy seems to be stabilizing. Growth has slowed but the core users are more active than ever, and people are starting to form sustainable communities. It feels so right to be a part of this.
