A few hours give or take. Usually I read some threads or browse technology news in !technology@beehaw.org Sometimes, also share some news related to the android world in a Lemmy community like !android@lemdro.id
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)_/¯
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
