Added Mlem to the spot where Apollo once lived. Hope it can live up
Yeah I did the same with Jerboa a few days ago. I keep clicking it, and it’s actually building the “good” habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit. There’s less content here though, but maybe that’s a blessing in disguise. Filling the “mindless scrolling of the internet” time with something useful should be my actual goal. So having less stuff to browse might help with that.
Exactly the same. If I’m gonna have muscle memory take me there, it may as well be an app that serves a similar function.
Writing from mlem now :D. Thanks for the tip
This is the way.
Memmy is good too. It’s in TestFlight on iOS. I use both. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Will keep using them as they update.
I believe this is the link:
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
For me Jerboa is now where Infinity for Reddit used to be.
Using Jeroba instead of Baconreader, but yep…
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.
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 😉
I just wish it was easier to explore other lemmy instances or do anything other than view already subscribed sections in jeroba. On android 11 and earlier you can at least go into settings and make it so that when people post links to other areas in lemmy it will open in jeroba but Google took away the ability to manually control which apps open what links in android 12.
Interact with that weird green stuff on the ground
there are bugs in it
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 🫡
Consider, if you haven’t already, creating a community for discussions about the app!
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!
In solidarity with those post I deleted RIF from my phone. This is my home now.
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.
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.

Are you me?
Jokes aside, I use(d) Apollo for my mindless scrolling of the internet. One feature that I loved was the option to turn off endless scrolling. You would reach an end and have to click to continue scrolling. Often I found myself on my phone without realising, and that feature managed to break me out of it each time.
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.
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.
Same here. I miss the sub with my countrymen, where we could discuss the daily happenings/news. I liked reading different experiences on the topics.
Polymer clay. My first attempts were utter crap but within a week I was making really cool stuff. My last thing was a totoro ornament. Any polymer clay communities?
If you can’t find it, start it? Surely that’s the beauty of this blank canvas we find ourselves in. And it’ll help the place keep growing. If no-one joins for a while then it’s a personal space to keep a record of all your creations that you can look back on to see how much you’ve improved over time
