I uninstalled RIF tonight and keep finding myself searching for it on my home screen lol Will get used to it eventually I guess. I’m opening Jerboa every time I catch myself to retrain myself.

Reddit has a ton of useful knowledge on it, why would I avoid it? It is not just a platform to doomscroll on… As a social media platform it’s as good as dead for me, but it is still a hyper forum with many worthwhile communities.

I just deleted/hid the Apollo app and put Mlem in the same spot in my app list. Now when my muscle memory goes to open up Reddit, I’m on lemmy instead

Once Apollo is gone for good, I’ll delete the app and that’ll be it. Reddit has too much useful info for me to block it entirely similar to Twitter. But also like Twitter, once the app is gone from my phone my usage pretty much drops to zero. I’ve already replaced Apollo with Mlem on my homepage, but I’m leaving Apollo installed until the end.

Uninstalled Apollo and put Mlem in its spot

I added an iOS shortcut automation to my iPhone. If I open Apollo, the shortcut runs and sends me to Mlem, then pops up a reminder.

I’ve exported my posts and comments. Just need to get my subscriptions list and I’m done.

I plan to overwrite my comments and posts with a text that explains why the original is removed. That way, for as long as Reddit survives, there’s a chance someone will see it and learn about how not to screw over your user base.

I might just dump it altogether, I only lurk anyway and the communities I subscribe to are mainly for humor. I haven’t checked it in several days now.

Uninstalled Apollo (Christian plz forgive me). Deleted my account.

That’s… why I’m here.

I’m just slowly lessening the amount I read there and try to read here instead

I installed a “focus” app on my phone. I set it to prevent launches of Boost (my third party app of choice) and the Reddit app (which I installed a while back and never bothered getting rid of) for the next two days.

When I try to launch either app, the focus app will tell me that I can’t. I tested it this morning just to make sure it was working. Now, even if I try to visit Reddit out of force of habit, I’ll have blocked myself from going there.

I deleted my account

i use libredirect

Paused rif and moved Jerboa to the spot where it normally is on my launcher

I put the Jerboa app icon where Baconreader had been on my phone. I kept opening it by reflex. This seems to be working.
