1. Get bored.
  2. Open Reddit.
  3. Remember I’m not using reddit today.
  4. Open Lemmy.
  5. Go do something else.
  6. Go to number 1.

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

      Any time you feel the urge to open reddit, make a post on Lemmy…

      It might take a minute, but this will be the new exciting place if we keep at it.

        I have had Reddit is Fun in the home buttons on my phone for the last 10 years. I pulled my phone out of my pocket an muscle memoried Reddit open like 20 times today.

        I just switched Jerboa into that spot. It is crazy how much that changed things.

          That’s exactly what I did. RiF is still installed on my phone, but right now Jerboa has taken it’s place. I hope /u/talklittle does something with the backend that allows it to work with Lemmy, Kbin, or others.

            Crazy how Jerboa, an alpha app, is much better than the official app of a multimillionaire company. Also, I already don’t miss using RiF. This is my new home.

              Jerboa has it’s issues. I would take a Lemmy is Fun in a second. Good for an alpha level app that wasn’t prepared for this influx of users. Jerboa definitely got better with today’s update.

                I would love to see a Lemmy app using the RIF design! The RIF developer is focused on an app for Tildes right now, but even something just copying the interface would be nice to see.

          I did the same. I removed the reddit icon and found myself tapping it’s empty location several times. I replaced it with Jerboa for Lemmy and it fills the void a bit.

      I on the other hand feel free lol. I have no urge to check reddit and I’m still exploring lemmy. Also it’s just better to go do other things instead of wasting my phone battery just for the sake of wasting time.

        Yeah, I’ll admit there is the excitement of having a new toy and figuring out how it all works. That takes away some of the boredom or time I’d be scrolling reddit.
