I never liked Reddit. I used to only use it for an hour or less a day to follow tech and IT communities.
But now, after the blackout, I can’t leave Lemmy. I’m on it about 5-6 hours a day to find communities, read news about Reddit blackout and Lemmy’s future. I think going back to Reddit will be good for me. It will take less of my time, especially after a lot of people quit Reddit.
Edit: Thank you for your nice answers and advice. I think all the good people of Reddit are here at Lemmy and kbin.

If you do this, how can I leave you? :)

6 hours a day just staring at a screen doing nothing? Sounds like you have other issues. Get a better hobby.
Yeah the phone use isn’t the problem. It’s the symptom of a problem.
sounds like my day job
Aw man, day jobs are the worst
I would aim to find a healthy way to use Lemmy instead. Given you said you usually only follow it I might make an argument that there is just a massive it event currently Happening on Lemmy. As such your following it. I don’t know that going back to Reddit will make much of a difference to you if you already have those habits. Try to limit your social media use and find a healthy way to interact with social media.
Better stay here. Reddit is already being Twitter and Digged out
No Reddit!… (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Only you can decide. Just evaluate why did you look elsewhere on the first place, and do you still hold those values.
This is the shitposting I live for

Go straight to github. Use github as your main social media, for shits and giggles. You’ll come out a better man(source: I tried it)
Go back and do what?
Spez have to make money. He need me. :)
He can have my money when he opens an onlyfans. Northing less, nothing more.
I’ve decided I won’t be installing the mobile app. Once Sync is gone, I will just use Lemmy on mobile for sure.
As for desktop, I will probably use both. My reddit usage will go down for sure and Lemmy will go up as it grows.
This is what I would have done had I not been permabanned for shitting on Spez and the admins.
I’ll admit, I did it, I just posted on Reddit. Though to be fair, I joined r/pics’ Sexy John Oliver protest, and put this up.
Unfortunately I also had to visit reddit…to upvote your post and plug kbin.
Ok I think this is a good joke post
This wasn’t a joke. I’m serious about my time. I don’t want to spend my time on social media. I don’t even have an Instagram or Twitter account. Lemmy shouldn’t be what I spend my time on. I wasn’t serious about going back to Reddit, by the way. I don’t like big companies like most of us do. I think the novelty of Lemmy and the blackout thing made me waste my time. I’ll be on Lemmy less from now on, I can do that. Thank you to everyone who responded or gave advice.
I did not realize, sorry! I really thought it was a joke. However, I get what you are saying. I hope you get a hold of your time!
You’re probably more active now because it’s a major event and things are changing. Would it be any different if it was some breaking tech news happening that was interesting and Reddit was like before? Maybe you find Lemmy more involving because the content is different than Reddit had been providing.
Stay here for now.
