Maybe it's just because there's less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.

Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?

Same here, but as of now just need to find things to fill that gap. Started reading a little more this morning so hopefully that will help with that

I was already learning Spanish, but not having Reddit has upped how much time I’m spending learning. So yay I suppose. Plus, less doom scrolling is probably healthier.

Same, I had a birthday recently and my wife got me a kindle. I'm not great at reading and often have to look up words as I go, but that's easy. I just finished The Name of the Wind and am on to the second book. I highly recommend it as it was easy to read and very engrossing.

I read every chance I get now.
