To me the term "Digital Minimalism" doesn't even make a lot of sense, if you compare it to "normal" Minimalism.
Many things only have one thing in common, being digital, but why would you lump them together? Sure, you kinda sit in front of a screen. But do you really? Nobody includes any of these things: making a phone call over a mostly digital line/voip, listening to a podcast or music with your completely digital device.
Maybe it's just a new name for what our parents told us in the times before the computer? "Don't sit in your room/in front of the TV all day".
End of rant about the name. Start of rant about the thing.
Interests change. Nobody can tell you what to do if you think spending time at a computer/tablet is what you want to do. If you only do it because you have no ideas? Simple. Try out every suggestion someone throws at you. But if you have fun doing it, why change the habit? (Let's assume it's still a healthy amount of time.)
But to maybe answer the question a bit: for me it's mountain biking or cycling in general, meeting friends, and that's also why there hasn't been a lot of it the last 2 summers, so I'm fully embracing the screen time and simply hoping that next summer will be better.
