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!

No, not really. I used Reddit more for discussions on niche topics/subreddits and tend to particpate more in text posts than link posts. I was never on Reddit for news or politics and its the same here. I'm engaging in fewer discussions on Lemmy so far, simply because there are fewer of them here right now.
