Added Mlem to the spot where Apollo once lived. Hope it can live up
This is the way.
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.
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:
Writing from mlem now :D. Thanks for the tip
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 need to heal my brain from mindless scrolling
Now we can do it on Lemmy!
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
I still occasionally type re into my browser search than look stupefied at the search bar when nothing shows up.
Can always try replacing it with this TestFlight app Memmy. https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy/discussions/13
For me Jerboa is now where Infinity for Reddit used to be.
Using Jeroba instead of Baconreader, but yep…
Interact with that weird green stuff on the ground
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.
slide (ios) has the best interface among the foss 3rd party apps for reddit. was surprised that it looked different in android so i used infinity there, which isnt as nice.
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
