Has anyone else been reading linked articles more often on Lemmy? (lemmy.ca)

When mindlessly browsing Reddit, I found that I usually just jump directly to the comments, read a couple, and continue. Lemmy seems a bit more curated (read: smaller), and therefore it's easier to actually engage in discussions, which leads me to read the article, think critically about it, and respond (if I have something to say) in the comments--bigger is not always better!

I'm half and half on this. I agree that reading is more efficient, but I also tend to skim through the article on first read then sometimes would have to read it again if I missed some information.

Listening to it in video or podcast format forces me to absorb the entire information from start to finish, thus I don't really need to listen to it again. Added benefit of podcasts for me is that I could listen to it while driving, and it helps me not to fall asleep on the highway 😂
