I am starting to. Still browse Reddit occasionally for the communities that are not in here yet.
Reddit as a whole seems a lot less populated. Example, the r/android sub is nowhere near as active as it used to be.

No
Nope, the same amount of time
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.
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 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 am using Lemmy way more, the only time I go back to Reddit is when there is literally no new content on Lemmy lol.
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.
I’d say I still spend more time on Reddit just because there’s some niche communities there that haven’t (and probably won’t) moved to Lemmy. I have been using Lemmy more often though. I stopped using it for a couple weeks after the initial push when the blackouts started on Reddit just because of the lack of content and good mobile apps. This week I’ve used it a lot more after being pleasantly surprised at how much more activity and content there was after just a couple of weeks and now there’s a lot of great mobile apps to choose from. Went from Voyager to Memmy. Both are trying to capture the magic Apollo had (and both are doing a really good job I have to say) but it’s hard to beat the native app experience which Memmy gives. It is really cool that I can self-host Voyager though.
Only thing that happened was lemmy replaced Reddit. I lurk more now though.
I use Kbin less, possibly due to a lower amount of content, but I surely use it way more deliberately
I spend more time on Lemmy. More interesting content, more commenting on my part.
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
Can't use reddit on phone, so when i'm not on my computer, it's lemmin' time!
Yeah it's slower with less people. Reddit I scrolled to find stuff, where as I use lemmy to post things i find
maybe less, though i’ve also been spending less time on social media like that lately anyways. though i do like lemmy, reddit has a lot more content in general and subs for my more niche interests (mostly battlejackets), so i do find myself scrolling there a fair amount. it tends to be a more conscious decision though, which is good, and i tend to stick to only a few subs that i really like. less mindless scrolling, more hunting for inspiration and conversation.
I spend a lot more time on it since I am an instance admin. (not on this account or instance though)
I use it more than reddit at this point!
