msdos622Since I deleted Apollo from my phone. Since and repeat.
DvstAdded Mlem to the spot where Apollo once lived. Hope it can live up
GerryflapYeah 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.
Joe BGo to your communities/local communites or all in general and sort by new. or sort by new comments in the communities feed. you won't be disappointed
Wren 🪐That’s what I did and it’s been working. Haven’t accidentally (or intentionally) opened Apollo once since the black out started
Writing from mlem now :D. Thanks for the tip
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.
ImFresh3xMemmy 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.
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.
gkdLet me know any issues you run into or ideas you have! Will keep you guys all up to date
Doing my part 🫡
BioMandoConsider, 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!

TheGayDudeInteract with that weird green stuff on the ground
mvuI 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
lhxPreach.
For me Jerboa is now where Infinity for Reddit used to be.
TheInsane42Using Jeroba instead of Baconreader, but yep...
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.
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.
awooI'm still salty Google killed their RSS reader but glad to hear Feedly is still around. How is Feedly nowadays? Hope it didn't turn to shit.
Same. Feedly has matured pretty well though, it still doesn't feel much different after all these years. They recently shoe-horned in some AI garbage that summarizes articles and identifies trending topics, and I'm not too impressed. It stays out of your way for the most part though.
Omg I just had a 2005 flashback, right before podcasts took off.
CascadeDismayedIn solidarity with those post I deleted RIF from my phone. This is my home now.
DraksisDeleted 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.
MegafWould you care to give Mastodon a try now?
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
Install Yu-Gi-Oh then or something?
to be honest, I like lemmy. It's a lot calmer.
Space_RacerWhile 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.
Calmer?
philokoCALMER!
SERENITY NOW
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 on jeroba but they Google 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.
hydrai need to heal my brain from mindless scrolling
Now we can do it on Lemmy!
AtaraxiaPolymer 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?
TheCatfishIf you can't find it, start it? Surely that's the beauty of this blank canvas we find ourselves in. And it'll help the place keep growing. If no-one joins for a while then it's a personal space to keep a record of all your creations that you can look back on to see how much you've improved over time
I'm actually spending more time on lemmy, hacker news, and (gasp) 9gag as well now.
I'm doing my best to stay the fuck off the internet. fuck, I'm failing as of this very moment
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!
