Sub.rehab can help you find equivalent communities to the subreddits you visit. If there isn't a Fediverse version of your community yet, start your own. That's what I did.
If you're nostalgic for Old Reddit, use "Old" Lemmy.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
I just left once my 3rd party app stopped working and never went back because Lemmy sufficiently fills the void.
Same here, miss my bacon reader
Delete the app off of your phone and set your swipe on your launcher to open your Lemmy app of choice. All I have to do is be on my home screen and swipe right with one finger and my Thunder app opens right up.
Im not sure. once I had an alternative I never went back. I mean don't go to reddit unless you have nothing to hang here for and if you do you have wwwwwwaaaaaaaayyy to much time on your hands.
An app that only lets you view, like RDX, because what usually keeps people addicted is the replies and notifications
A cold turkey move to the Fediverse.
Not patronizing Reddit and instead spend quality time trying to make Lemmy better.
At this point, your presence and activity on reddit cannot make reddit better. Reddit's tipping point has been reached. It is beyond saving.
Similarly, your presence and activity on fediverse can make fediverse better. While this might change, at present it is true. In any case, at least you will have a more informed opinion on fediverse later on if you expand your experience and interaction with it now.
My app quit working, and I never downloaded the official one. Problem solved!
This is the way. I miss my baconreader app, but haven't looked back.
Aggressively seeding fedi discussions
I went cold turkey when the whole API pricing change thing went down.
If you haven't been successful in quitting (cold turkey or otherwise) Reddit, I'd say do some introspection on the topic of what keeps you coming back to Reddit. What specifically do you find yourself thinking about when you're wanting to open Reddit?
Once you have an answer to that question, maybe think about just how beneficial it is to you. If it's beneficial, maybe try to make something similar a thing on Lemmy. If it's less beneficial and more just addictive gamification that you don't actually value, practice some mindfulness around it. When you feel yourself desiring to go consume some Reddit, just observe that desire nonjudgementally until it goes away.
I just don't use Reddit
Can i cross reply from lemmy.world to lemmy.ca?
And yes i can
I did it by doing a download of all my posts, and then deleted my account and everything I ever wrote there. I understand the argument that that this is "bad for the internet," but I'm not interested in helping Reddit profit off my labor when I'm not using their service. Also, it's a no-takeh backs approach; once I did it, I couldn't go back, short of creating a new account, which is easy for me to resist.
i put in a plugin/browser block so i dont accidentally go there. if i ever need to, i have to disable it or open a private window. the extra steps worked at preventing relapse.
What did it for me is I logged in one day and there was a post about bathroom politics having the same discussion we've been having for years with the most cringe takes I've ever seen.
When I realized that Reddit was leaning further right than it ever had, that was the last straw for me. It feels like 4chan light now.
I saw some transphobes on r/VictoriaBC commenting that
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler “they don’t care” & “why are they wasting money on this” under the story of UVIC having the largest transgender archive and the moderators left those up… not mention they regularly attack folks with substance use disorders saying “we’re too soft on them”
I had to unsubscribe and block that subreddit.
