Jerboa (mobile app for Lemmy) is really great so far! Feels basically the same to me as Boost was. The sign in process is a little odd (top left hamburger menu, accounts, add account).

I'm staying here, I'm done with Reddit.

ive been spending anywhere from 1-4 hours a day on reddit for the past..13 years? probably the most ingrained habit i have. Broke that habit as of two days ago. Weirdly enough, its not even that difficult. Its like i just understood that its time to move on, like a breaking point in a toxic relationship.

Only downside so far is having nothing to do during public transit. Not enough hobby specific discussion here yet, everyone keeps babbling about leaving reddit, like i am right now.. xd

I kept doing this and finally just moved the Jerboa for Lemmy app to where I had RIF and it's been working great.

I purposefully moved RIF off of my home screen. My stupid muscle memory kept tapping it every time my idle brain opened the phone. Trying out Jerboa as an app for lemmy at the moment.

That were first two days here, but now I'm invested, people started to share more and suddenly i catch myself scrolling Lemmy for 15 minutes instead of working

I suppose I might just be a crazy person, but this seems as good a place to ask as any.

Any reason my upvotes (& downvotes for that matter) don't seem to stick? Just made an account and was scrolling thru this thread, upvoted some comments. And within like 2 seconds, the blue upvote highlight disappeared and the comment score went back to what it was before I had interacted. Same with downvotes.

Imma try it on desktop soon.

I’ve found refuge in my kindle. I break the cycle by forcing myself to read books (trashy sci-fi novels mostly) But I DO want something to keep abreast of what’s going on further from my brain, and Lemmy has almost enough content to get a relatively neutral feed of information. Won’t take much to cross the watershed for me…

At this point Ive completely replaced my addiction to reddit with one to lemmy

i just replaced the Reddick icon with lemmy

I doctored my bookmarks to exclude Reddit. On my phone I replaced it was Jerboa, which I was very impressed with as an alpha app. It's already better than Reddit's official app. I'm very guilty of doing the same like you. Launch up reddit then correct myself. I'm comitted to the move away.

It's usually difficult for me to break habits, but right now I'm motivated by rage and contempt, which is making it a lot easier. And the fediverse is like a methadone drip to come down from the heroin-like addictiveness of endless information.

Tip: instead of opening reddit, just search "reddit" and read all the tech news articles shitting on Steve Huffman in diplomatic ways. It's very satisfying.

I ditched Reddit a few weeks ago for other reasons (I am going full FOSS/decentralised services). My Reddit account was 11 years old, I don't miss it at all.

i thought i was the only one doing that

I anticipated this and deleted my (3rd party) app icon on the 11th. Just migrated here today. This definitely fills the void for me. I'll only miss a select few subreddits.

I opened it twice today and was met with the ‘Reddit is killing Third-Party Applications’ and remembered I need to keep sticking it to the man.

Yeah I wish people would stop posting on Lemmy about Reddit and start posting something interesting instead

Lemmy has replaced everything reddit was for me, so I just deleted the app

I removed the app from my home screen and that made things easier.

Yeah, same here. Lemmy sort of scratches the itch, but it's a big itch.

I thought I was addicted to Reddit, but compared to some of you I was totally fine all along! Hurrah!

I open Reddit way too often. Today I replaced my Reddit shortcut with Lemmy. Jerboa needs some refining but it'll do for now. Let's give it a go!
