I got you
- add ebook reader app to phone
- download ebooks
- pretend ebooks are long-form Reddit posts
- become well-read while wasting time
If you can’t read, download picture ebooks instead
Added Mlem to the spot where Apollo once lived. Hope it can live up
This is the way.
Writing from mlem now :D. Thanks for the tip
For me Jerboa is now where Infinity for Reddit used to be.
I’ve been thinking of deleting my Reddit account but haven’t gone through with it. This post motivated me enough to at least delete my Reddit app (slide for iOS). So many wasted hours I’ve been spending on that app just mindlessly scrolling like a robot.
Now to my next addiction: watching YouTube videos which won’t make me smarter (gaming content) on my phone.
I’m actually spending more time on lemmy, hacker news, and (gasp) 9gag as well now.
Haven’t been to 9gag since a decade ago. When I was still a teenager, I used to be addicted with 9gag. Young me found le comics so entertaining and funny. It was so addicting doom scrolling on 9gag.
When you see it, you’ll shit brix.
to be honest, I like lemmy. It’s a lot calmer.
While its does feel like reddit 10 years ago, the appeal to me became that reddit always had soemthign new no matter the hour of day. Hope Lemmy can get there.
Can always try replacing it with this TestFlight app Memmy. https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy/discussions/13
Thanks for this, I wasn’t really liking Mlem a whole lot.
Let me know any issues you run into or ideas you have! Will keep you guys all up to date
Doing my part 🫡
I’m the guy that reported the bug this morning and although I have next to no knowledge of react projects am trying to implement my requested feature :)
I’ll be going through them in a few hours. Thank you!
i need to heal my brain from mindless scrolling
Jerboa has been good so far. Somehow the discussions on lemmy feels more engaging than on reddit. Might be because there are no bots regurgiating comments. But the lack of my favourite subreddits have helped my phone addiction 😂 Hopefully this will be rectified soon 😉
Deleted Reddit and Twitter same day, I’m bored for sure but it’s kind of insane how addicted to information I am. Trying to break it is hard.
Addicted to information, that’s a good way of putting it. I feel the same! The constant stream from reddit took so much of my time. I do miss it and it’s still a good way to stay informed about what’s going on in the world. I much prefer the forum style to TikTok/Reels/Shorts/etc, which feels like brainrot if you spend any amount of time scrolling through
Interact with that weird green stuff on the ground
there are bugs in it
Lemmy’s buggy too yet I don’t see you complaining
Try an RSS aggregator app like Feedly and add all your favorite topics/sites. I filled mine up with web comics, car blogs and tech stuff. Also been getting into NPR lately, lots of interesting stuff and less of a focus on politics.
That’s what I did at first. But for me the beauty of reddit isn’t with the post themselves, it’s in the comments.
