Yeah I did the same with Jerboa a few days ago. I keep clicking it, and it's actually building the "good" habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit. There's less content here though, but maybe that's a blessing in disguise. Filling the "mindless scrolling of the internet" time with something useful should be my actual goal. So having less stuff to browse might help with that.

This is the way.

Exactly the same. If I’m gonna have muscle memory take me there, it may as well be an app that serves a similar function.

Writing from mlem now :D. Thanks for the tip

Same but with Jerboa and reddit is fun

That’s what I did and it’s been working. Haven’t accidentally (or intentionally) opened Apollo once since the black out started

Memmy is good too. It’s in TestFlight on iOS. I use both. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Will keep using them as they update.

I believe this is the link:

Thanks for this, I wasn't really liking Mlem a whole lot.

Using Jeroba instead of Baconreader, but yep...

Addicted to information, that's a good way of putting it. I feel the same! The constant stream from reddit took so much of my time. I do miss it and it's still a good way to stay informed about what's going on in the world. I much prefer the forum style to TikTok/Reels/Shorts/etc, which feels like brainrot if you spend any amount of time scrolling through

Addicted to information, or (useless) scrolling through posts? It took me long, too long to be honest, that Reddit was mostly scrolling through useless information. I'm glad I'm done with Reddit now.

there are bugs in it

While its does feel like reddit 10 years ago, the appeal to me became that reddit always had soemthign new no matter the hour of day. Hope Lemmy can get there.

Calmer?

slide (ios) has the best interface among the foss 3rd party apps for reddit. was surprised that it looked different in android so i used infinity there, which isnt as nice.

Now to my next addiction: watching YouTube videos which won’t make me smarter (gaming content) on my phone.

Are you me?

Jokes aside, I use(d) Apollo for my mindless scrolling of the internet. One feature that I loved was the option to turn off endless scrolling. You would reach an end and have to click to continue scrolling. Often I found myself on my phone without realising, and that feature managed to break me out of it each time.

That's what I did at first. But for me the beauty of reddit isn't with the post themselves, it's in the comments.

I just wish it was easier to explore other lemmy instances or do anything other than view already subscribed sections in jeroba. On android 11 and earlier you can at least go into settings and make it so that when people post links to other areas in lemmy it will open in jeroba but Google took away the ability to manually control which apps open what links in android 12.

Much less hate fueled comments and trolls over here. Hopefully it stays that way. If you looked at Reddit during the blackout most of the remaining content was 'conservatives' and hate.

Haven't been to 9gag since a decade ago. When I was still a teenager, I used to be addicted with 9gag. Young me found le comics so entertaining and funny. It was so addicting doom scrolling on 9gag.

When you see it, you'll shit brix.

Physical or digital?
