Save your Lemmy homepage as a shortcut on your Home Screen, move your Reddit app and replace it with your Lemmy shortcut.
I just opened Reddit 5x today and had to figure out how to train myself not to use it. This seemed to help me, I hope it helps others too.
Stay strong brothers and sisters. Remember, the more we post, the better it gets.
I’m doing exactly what you suggested…but man it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I am both figuring this out and completely confused. But I was that way on Reddit years ago.
I uninstalled reddit. It’s the only way to kick it off
Same. Helped a lot. But after 3 days I still find myself looking for it before remebering that I should look for Lemmy instead.
I ended up uninstalling reddit, because I opened it too much. Then, as you said, I moved the lemmy icon to where reddit used to be.
Same here
Same, uninstalled andnow reddit-free
Yup, works wonders to stop me from opening apollo every other minute. Fuck spez
Out of curiosity: why don’t you delete Reddit entirely? I did that and am very happy.
I’m waiting to get my GDPR data request.
Ok, smart
I did after posting, wanted to make sure this worked for me
I did that the first day. Works perfectly.
Another approach is to switch to a distractless Launcher. I personally use Olauncher, needed 2 days to get used to it… never looked back.
As soon as someone creates an iOS or android browser for lemmy it’s OVER for reddit lol
Here they are:
Amazing! Thanks so much!
Android one has been out for a while:
Yepp. I still catch myself typing “Re…” in the app search on my phone only to be baffled that I deleted the app…
Just save your instance as “reddit”/“apollo”/whatever on your phone. This is the trick they wish you didn’t know.
I deleted Apollo when the blackout started and haven’t used Reddit since. But I’m in med school and should be getting results of step 1 tomorrow 😞 normally I’d be doomscrolling r/step1 and there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent yet. So for anyone reading this: 😭
It’s just that I have to scroll so far to get new content. And I keep seeing old content that are two days old that stays on the top… I really to new stuff to crawl up!😅
There is a setting that you can disable “Show Read Posts”. This way you will only see new things :)
Omg thanks so much for this tip!
Noise! I will give it a go!
I’ve done exacly this yestarday. Muscle memory is a powerful thing, but now it just leads me to Lemmy instead of Reddit.
I did the same thing it is so funny how I open the Jerboa app now thinking it is Sync Pro.
Sync for Lemmy lessgooooo
Hehe, removing Relay was the first thing I did, because even if I just closed it I would tap it out of boredom and habit. But I’ll just delete my users and uninstall the app
Yep, did the same on my tablet, Lemmy with Kiwi Browser in Desktop mode is awesome af ;)
Gone cold turkey. Deleted accounts and uninstalled Rif. There’s no going back. It’s only Lemmy now. And I must say, it’s a nicer place to be.
