Not enought content here to replace all that time saved IMO. At my worst I was browsing Reddit 6+ hours a day. Here, I can’t even go 2 hours without seeing the same content…
I get what you mean. But I just spread my net wider. Give more communities a chance, and unsubscribe from the ones that aren’t what I’m looking for. It’s frustrating, but it will improve. And it’s better than dealing with reddit.
Oh I agree 100% but there are definitely aspects of Reddit that just aren’t replaceable with Lemmy. Lemmy has almost no car communities (besides FuckCars), which is a hobby that takes up a lot of my time. I’ve replaced the time I spent on Reddit car subs with /o/ and other forums.
As for my other interests, though, I think Lemmy is definitely better for my mental health. Nobody needs a constant stream of new memes to access whenever they want. I was developing a serious case of brainrot mindlessly scrolling when I still used Reddit.
Yeah definitely. That’s what I was saying about spreading my net wider here. I try communities of topics that I’m not necessarily interested in, but could be. Being a bit more open minded giving new things a chance.
I get that way a month ago. And yeah, I quickly run into duplicate content, but over the last couple weeks the duplicate content has been strongly peppered with new content that is highly engaging. With less churn, I find that I spend more time commenting as well.

None of this is a criticism against Lemmy btw

For me, I struggle to find communities to post some types of content in, and I don’t really want to create a brand new comm just for a single post.
So I end up not posting those things 🫣
