Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
You're viewing a single thread.
I have been browsing lemmy way more often than reddit. I think it mainly for the ease of already having a working mobile app; I use Jerboa.
Secondly, it's the refreshing feeling of conversing with actual humans and not yet being worried of various propaganda bots vying for your attention and generating as much outrage/controversy as possible.
I find myself commenting on lemmy way more than at least the last 5 or 6 years on reddit.
Nonetheless, perhaps i may be a bit jaded, I expect all these bots retooling their arsenal for the fediverse in the next few years if not months.
So I'll enjoy as much as possible for as long as possible this sliver of peace of mind before it transition (hopefully not) to a bot-ted/radicalised hellscape with a few sporadic communities/magazines that survived their multiple assaults.
