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.

    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.

    Too much. I alternate between xitter, lemmy and YouTube. Sometimes I leave YouTube on in the background while I alternate twitter and lemmy. It’s a problem.

    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

    I’ve got a Firefox extension that blocks websites after an amendable period of time is spent on them, so I limit my time on social media websites to 1 hour a day because I felt I was spending too much time reading mindless drivel, and I often don’t even reach an hour nowadays, having only looked at Lemmy.

    Around an hour. I like reading but there isn’t very much original content to read here. There are tons of articles, but I hate those since there’s so much filler.

    Not a lot, I don’t think long usage of social media is beneficial to anyone in the long run, even though I’ve been running a (small) instance for quite a while now.
    I have integrated checking social media feeds (just Lemmy and HackerNews nowadays) into my daily routine, usually only happening in the morning and evening. Because of my admin and mod duties, I end up opening Lemmy more than twice a day, but only to check on reports, applications, etc.

    Android wellness tracker says between 2 and 4 hours each day. Lower on weekdays… More on weekends.

    That’s pretty much back up to Reddit levels from a year ago.

      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.
