I usually spend 1-2 hour on Lemmy since I am not a good reader(and also non native) so it takes some time to read all the content I like on Lemmy.

I was inactive for some time because I was busy with my life but I am back and now I try to post and comment more frequently!

    Just 30 mins to an hour. It’s really nice to be able to drop it so easily. It has very little addiction feeling, and it’s easy enough to just open the app and go through what’s new and then close it.

    I spend less than an hour a day, usually. I end up scrolling past a lot of the posts because they don’t interest me and are more long form content, but I like to catch up on the memes and cats

      Seconded this. I’ll read about things I don’t even give a damn about, I just like reading. I’ll get better at commenting more one day, try my best for now ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      Yeah I’m the same,I only use Lemmy as my social media, but I do spend a decent amount of time here saying dumb shit.

    I try to limit my social media to less than 30m per day. Lemmy is pretty much exclusively the only SM I use

    About an hour a day browsing, and another 1+ hour working on content and replying to people.

    Somedays I feel bad spending my time here just working on my own stuff and not getting to enjoy what you all are doing!

    10h 14m total in the last week, according to my phone. So a bit more than an hour a day on average.

    Depends on the day. If I dismiss outliers where it’s less than 20 minutes, my average is probably about 90 minutes based on checking my app history over the past few weeks. A good chunk of that is typing comments, sometimes looking up a good link to include. I usually swipe through while skimming posts and open comments for a post once in a while, occasionally adding a comment in there. I rarely post anything but comments.

    Today I’m at 35 minutes and probably mostly done for the day.

    Less than an hour a day, when I was spending all my days on that other platform back when I used that. So the switch to Lemmy was a healthy choice for me. I’ve been applying some strategies to do the same to YouTube.

    I just keep it to my phone, and have an app timer set for 1 hour +5 minutes. It’s nice if I’m at home, I know it’ll cover my daily walking steps, as I pace donuts around the house, which also gets me off my ass and moving, so when I want to browse Lemmy, I try to do so whilst pacing. Regardless, when I get the notification saying the app will shut down in 5 minutes, I know how long I’ve been on, and kinda do a self-reflective check on how well the time was spent.

    If I’m writing a comment that will take time and attention, though, I often just switch to a note, and copy/paste, cause I’ll work on something like that for much longer, before often deciding not to post anything, at all. (งツ)ว
