This is the way.
Do your part by posting. Or doing what redditors do best - repost!!
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.
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
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.
Downloaded mlem now, worse than Apollo but better than Reddit. And the content on here is about the same as for Reddit so I'm not complaining!
I got you
- add ebook reader app to phone
- download ebooks
- pretend ebooks are long-form Reddit posts
- become well-read while wasting time
If you can't read, download picture ebooks instead
Can always try replacing it with this TestFlight app Memmy. https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy/discussions/13
Thanks for this, I wasn't really liking Mlem a whole lot.
Let me know any issues you run into or ideas you have! Will keep you guys all up to date
Doing my part 🫡
Consider, if you haven't already, creating a community for discussions about the app!
I’m the guy that reported the bug this morning and although I have next to no knowledge of react projects am trying to implement my requested feature :)
I'll be going through them in a few hours. Thank you!
For me Jerboa is now where Infinity for Reddit used to be.
Using Jeroba instead of Baconreader, but yep...
to be honest, I like lemmy. It's a lot calmer.
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.
Yeah but back then the pro was that you could actually lead a productive fucking life off your phone lmao. Now if there's always something new on Reddit it just leads into habit/addiction
Personally the appeal for me has become the opposite. Because I have to wait for Lemmy to update, I can actually stay off my phone more and do more productive things.
i need to heal my brain from mindless scrolling
Jerboa has been good so far. Somehow the discussions on lemmy feels more engaging than on reddit. Might be because there are no bots regurgiating comments. But the lack of my favourite subreddits have helped my phone addiction 😂 Hopefully this will be rectified soon 😉
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.
Interact with that weird green stuff on the ground
Preach.
Try an RSS aggregator app like Feedly and add all your favorite topics/sites. I filled mine up with web comics, car blogs and tech stuff. Also been getting into NPR lately, lots of interesting stuff and less of a focus on politics.
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.
Deleted Reddit and Twitter same day, I'm bored for sure but it's kind of insane how addicted to information I am. Trying to break it is hard.
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.
I went traditional and am reading books more and now I‘m also hanging out here. Excited to explore Lemmy a bit with all of you.
I'm actually spending more time on lemmy, hacker news, and (gasp) 9gag as well now.
Polymer clay. My first attempts were utter crap but within a week I was making really cool stuff. My last thing was a totoro ornament. Any polymer clay communities?
I’ve been thinking of deleting my Reddit account but haven’t gone through with it. This post motivated me enough to at least delete my Reddit app (slide for iOS). So many wasted hours I’ve been spending on that app just mindlessly scrolling like a robot.
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.
