Added Mlem to the spot where Apollo once lived. Hope it can live up
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.
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.
This is the way.
Writing from mlem now :D. Thanks for the tip
That’s what I did and it’s been working. Haven’t accidentally (or intentionally) opened Apollo once since the black out started
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…
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.
Would you care to give Mastodon a try now?
In solidarity with those post I deleted RIF from my phone. This is my home now.
deleted by creator
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.
Same here. I miss the sub with my countrymen, where we could discuss the daily happenings/news. I liked reading different experiences on the topics.
Interact with that weird green stuff on the ground
there are bugs in it
They’re not bugs! Just tiny, cute, unintended features :3
i need to heal my brain from mindless scrolling
Now we can do it on Lemmy!
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.
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.
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.
Calmer?
CALMER!
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 not found any but if you do please come back and ping me!
Install Yu-Gi-Oh then or something?
The whole debacle made me realize how much of an addiction I had to reddit (not like dysfunctional levels, but still…). App checking is definitely a weird side-effect, as is all the free time I have haha.
For now, Lemmy helps in giving a similar vibe but the calmness (for now) makes it easier to set boundaries, I think. Hope to build healthier habits this time around!
I still occasionally type re into my browser search than look stupefied at the search bar when nothing shows up.
