Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit? - Lemmy.world

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.

I've spent FAR more time on kbin than I have reddit since the blackouts. I know the Relay app will be gone at the end of the month, so I figured I'd get a jump on trying to get used to another platform. I refuse to be forcefed ads, so there is no other option for me with reddit as a mobile user.

I'm also switching to Kbin (subscribed to lemmy instances too) where I spend most of my time now. I miss my thematic subreddits, but experience says it is a matter of time until I build a good network here. Mastodon took me 6 months to be able to replace Twitter almost completely (there are a few individuals I still have to find somewhere else).

I blocked reddit from my DNSs and I only enter via Infinity mobile app every now and then to vote on the polls to "keep the blackout" or "only allow John Oliver shenanigans".
