Short answer, no.
There just isn't as much content to scroll, and there's no accomodations for separating communities by interest. Allegedly, piefed fixes this but I haven't tried yet.
I'd like it if I could keep my news feed separate from my technology feed separate from my porn feed separate from gaming feed separate from you get the idea. Since it's all blended together, it's harder to stay on the platform. The same complaint applies to yourube, by the way.
I spend more time on Lemmy, by far.
The only two subs on Reddit I still visit somewhat frequently for local news are enshittifying fast. The jokes were stale 10 years ago, now they've gone almost fully decomposed. Also, I recently encountered a thread that seemed to be 90% bot traffic, with uncannily mismatched questions and answers.
Not to mention every thread everywhere on Reddit sooner or later will mention Trump, Musk, or American politics and culture in general, making me lose all interest.
Subjectively more, but that could also be due to lemmy having much less content than my doomscrolling needs, so I open it every 5-20 mins and check (also Mastodon). And that feels like much more time than one few-hour session on Reddit.
From how often I see your comments, I can certainly tell you're a regular visitor. :P
Damn I'm not a visitor, I'm the host
I use both, but I use stealth for reddit so I'm not logged in. But, I can actually comment on lemmy with third party apps.
I scroll until I see the same posts on other instances, so no. Quite a bit less. Scrolling too deep, no matter the sort method, eventually shows me the same 75-150 cross posts.
Yes, because I was primarily a lurker while I was on Reddit... Lurked on Lemmy for a year too but not anymore, so I spend more time on here
Nope! Lemmy lacks the dark patterns that kept me scrolling reddit far longer than I meant to.
i think its the repeating posts, no new content. reddit is like the drink saturated with sugar so much, you can feel the granules of sugar. while lemmy is "sweetener" level.
No, I like reading and writing here, but I spend a lot of time watching short videos. It's a constant bombardment of interesting facts (mixed with some news, memes, trends...); it's stimulating.
I spend a little less on average due to the slower flow of content.
But I spend more time writing somewhat in depth comments and actually interacting with lemmy, I'd wager. Reddit was high volume but outside of my niche mechanics subreddits I wouldn't comment much more than memes and one liners.
quite less actually, since theres less content, plus i blocked alot of people lemmy for obvious trolling, tanking, which lemmy has very little users already. so i just wait til later in the night to acess lemmy. on reddit i was on it every chance i could get.
As I avoid Reddit like the plague? Yeah.
About the same for me. Can't possibly use it more than 24/7 without doing Superman levels of physics fuckery to add more days to the week. 🤷♂️
I probably spend about the same amount of time here as I did on Reddit.
Way less, because there isn't nearly the amount of content here.
I spend about as much time as I did on reddit, but it depends on how the content is day to day.
I still read certain things on reddit when search engines take me there, but that's mainly for niche things that aren't super popular here. Mainly the Gloryhammer and AllTheMods subs tbh.
Same for me! For niche hobbies, Reddit still has a lot of valuable older information. That might change though.
I only ever used Reddit via web, but on Lemmy I have Mlem, which has increased my mobile use a ton
I don't comment or vote on reddit anymore. I use them both a similar amount I'd think. If I ever have to do research into a topic though the answer is almost always on reddit.
reddit keeps track of it apparently, downvote, commenting and posting, they try to arbitrarily(through Ai) to see if your a bot, or spamming.
Yeah these days it feels a lot more high stakes to do anything on reddit since if you vote on the wrong thing you can get banned and if you comment on the wrong thing you can also get banned lmao. Easiest option is to just not participate.
Yup. Mostly because reddit was mostly about mmos for me and then pathfinder but im on the fediverse more generally.
No, but that's because I add a lot of friction so I don't spend much time on social media. So I only access Lemmy by website from my phone. It's pretty inconvenient, just the way I want it.
I don't spend any time on this website at all because I have 1 billion dollars.
I read things on Reddit sometimes (using Eddrit or RedLib) to narrate for Cocules Reddit Readings. Otherwise, I don't even use Reddit (nor do I have an account on that toxic slop).
