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.

Most of my favorite subs are irreversibly affected by protestors. Going there, I just see a feed of filler content among meme posts. I don't believe reddit has anything to offer me anymore, and I'm no longer interested in interacting on the company's platform.
Honestly, seeing how many people signed up on these federated services and the amount of people sharing similar viewpoints over this controversy is refreshing. We stuck with reddit for too long, for no good reason other than a lack of competition, and I'm excited to see what changes this can bring!
I've seen A LOT of pro corporate bootlicking "fuck the mods" posts and comments. I don't know if it's astroturfing or just that so many of the people who actually care left. But a lot of subs have turned horribly toxic and aggressively anti-empathetic.
It's made it REALLY easy to cut out some like the NFL sub. My sub list is now small enough that I can check it once a week and be fine, kinda like Facebook.
