Yeah my browsing time has gone down compared to Reddit. But Lemmy has far less mindless content, if I’m on here I’m more engaged and actively read articles linked or write comments.
Yes, definitely! I wonder what that is. Because I definitely engage way more with the actual content, reading full articles, actually opening articles…on Reddit, I was so angry with myself because I wouldn’t actually read the shit. Which was very unlike me. Very odd
On Reddit it felt useless to comment, when I found an interesting topic the discussion was already drowning with one word comments and other useless stuff. Here on Lemmy the discussions feel more genuine. Probably it’s because the userbase is more mature, or the nature of Lemmy is not to generate money.
