Just use your web browser on mobile. It works pretty damn well. Eventually we'll get an Apollo-level equivalent, but the web browser works SOOOOOO much better on Lemmy as compared to reddit. The responsiveness and themes work great.

I'm working on a iOS client that's similar to Apollo, with the swiping upvote (my favorite feature lol). So if in a few days you want an alpha invite I can send it to you. It's already at a point where it's on par with Mlem but I'd like to spend a few days fine tuning a few things to get it to a place I would daily drive it.
Ooh what is Lemmy Community Browser?
Im on iOS. I have the beta mlem app. I mainly just use safari. The auto scrolling feed is annoying me. Is there a way to disable that?
Here's the community browser: https://browse.feddit.de
I would but there's a few things I need to keep it for, like art commissions. But I'm staying on Lemmy the interactions are so much better. Hopefully we get a bunch of community migrations so I can get rid of Reddit completely.
It's definitely been a very interesting situation, in that it's made many of us take a long hard look at what we are with concern to reddit... addicted. I expect some will rail against that classification but make no mistake, these apps / sites are designed to be addictive (iirc they call it 'stickiness').
As well as relentless scrolling throughout the day, I found I was wasting hours feeding into my depression doomscrolling before even getting out of bed. Regardless of what happens next, I'm not installing the reddit app or reinstalling my 3rd party choice (Infinity). Surprise, I'm now getting up much more quickly and starting the day in a better frame of mind.
I wonder how many users they've permanently lost through this debacle?
Yup, works wonders to stop me from opening apollo every other minute. Fuck spez
Omg thanks so much for this tip!
Now I understand what smokers mean when they say “muscle memory” makes their fingers automatically go for the cigarette in the pack.
My fingers have been automatically going to the space where Apollo / RIF was.
I just put jerboa there.
Seriously, this addict's muscle memory is making me use lemmy more!
It most certainly is difficult. site:reddit.com is seriously helpful and I can't see myself doing searches without it.
Given how instances and communities work, I wonder how will we do searches in the future as lemmy gets more popular.
Tbh, rif was only renamed to rif is fun because they were no longer allowed to use Reddit is fun.
So I wouldn't mind if it was released Lemmy is Fun, but then idk what the holders of the "Lemmy" trademark's policy on using the name.
I did the same. Sync can live in the depths of my app drawer for a while. Muscle memory just got me to write my first comment here. 🙂
The fact Reddit dominates the useful results of so many searches is a problem. That won't work as well with Lemmy because good posts live on different instances.
Sync for Lemmy lessgooooo
I deleted Apollo when the blackout started and haven’t used Reddit since. But I’m in med school and should be getting results of step 1 tomorrow 😞 normally I’d be doomscrolling r/step1 and there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent yet. So for anyone reading this: 😭
I uninstalled reddit. It's the only way to kick it off
As soon as someone creates an iOS or android browser for lemmy it's OVER for reddit lol
Here they are:
Amazing! Thanks so much!
I will admit, browsing all communities felt like browsing /r/all before they restricted what could go up there.
It was actually kinda refreshing and nostagic seeing the occasional post from the lemmynsfw instance.
Same, uninstalled andnow reddit-free
I only use Jerboa now. It has taken the place of my favorite reddit app, Joey. Though it is a little lacking that still requires me to go to my homepage. Usually to add new communities to my feed.
Never really used the official reddit website. old.reddit.com was just to bright, and the modern version is... Well, garbage.
@bloodtide I used a browser extension to block reddit just so I don't go on it anymore.
I blocked reddit on AdGuard at the DNS level, removed apps and bookmarks. Man I miss the subs I frequented. So much knowledge. :(
Gone cold turkey. Deleted accounts and uninstalled Rif. There's no going back. It's only Lemmy now. And I must say, it's a nicer place to be.
Yep, did the same on my tablet, Lemmy with Kiwi Browser in Desktop mode is awesome af ;)
I'm waiting to get my GDPR data request.
Hehe, removing Relay was the first thing I did, because even if I just closed it I would tap it out of boredom and habit. But I'll just delete my users and uninstall the app
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
Just switch to Jerboa. Yes, it's a bit janky, but endure. It's well worth it. Edit: forgot to write, a place where Jerboa icon is is the place where Infinity stood for 4 years. Same phone, yeah.
