    I actually did stop engaging as much after eliminating Reddit. Lemmy is nice sometimes, but I’m nowhere near as active. I probably post a few more YouTube comments, that’s about it.

      Yeah same here. I used to comment on reddit multiple times a day, I comment on Lemmy maybe once or twice a week. There’s just not as much here that inspires me. It’s okay, though, and I’m reading more books.

        It’s certainly a bit thick on the memes, but it’ll flesh out as it matures.

        I think we can agree the alternatives we’ve found have been much more positive overall.

          Yeah great innit? I always used to be a reader and I’ve been rediscovering old favourites and reading a bit of new stuff. I have limited screen time after work and life etc but I’ve also been doing the same with films. And there’s a load of games on my list too. I’m not saying reddit was a waste of time, but I’d spend an hour or two a day on there, was constantly in ongoing conversations with a bunch of people. Lemmy is much less so. Social media is good n stuff, I’m gonna stick with Lemmy for a bit - but yeah, books etc :)

      Same. I check Lemmy once or twice a day and comment less than on Reddit by far. I still feel more satisfied than I ever did on Reddit and I enjoy the community much more.
