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.

I killed my 15 year old account yesterday. Looking through the history though there wasn't anything to be nostalgic about - I talked a lot of shit

Greetings fellow shitposter. I dont know why but it is still hilarious to rile up random people about ridiculous things

I replaced the reddit app shortcut on my phone with the Jerboa for Lemmy so that when, through sheer muscle memory, I try to open Reddit I open Lemmy instead.

Honestly, I hope I spend less time on Lemmy because I was on Reddit too damn much. Maybe this is exactly what I needed to break an unhealthy habit.

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!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Jerboa has made the transition much smoother than I expected. Dark mode, card views and basic collapsing and font adjustment is such a relief.

I used reddit for exactly two things, memes and news. Lemmy has become my home for memes, and I downloaded a separate link aggregator for news. And with those two satisfied, I have no issues leaving behind reddit. It was just handy to have an all in one, and lemmy could definitely get there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What's the news aggregator you downloaded?

I deleted the official Reddit app and have only gone to r/tildes to check to see if they're offering invites again. I do hope to see a community to match learnprogramming and learnpython show up here.

I moved my Apollo icon to a different location, and it helped the first couple times. But now… I’ve quickly replaced the habit with loading up Lemmy in my browser, haha
