I kept doing this and finally just moved the Jerboa for Lemmy app to where I had RIF and it's been working great.

Yeah I wish people would stop posting on Lemmy about Reddit and start posting something interesting instead

I removed the app from my home screen and that made things easier.

I moved my Apollo icon off the home page so I would quit accidentally click it out of habit.

I ditched Reddit a few weeks ago for other reasons (I am going full FOSS/decentralised services). My Reddit account was 11 years old, I don't miss it at all.

I anticipated this and deleted my (3rd party) app icon on the 11th. Just migrated here today. This definitely fills the void for me. I'll only miss a select few subreddits.

It's usually difficult for me to break habits, but right now I'm motivated by rage and contempt, which is making it a lot easier. And the fediverse is like a methadone drip to come down from the heroin-like addictiveness of endless information.

Tip: instead of opening reddit, just search "reddit" and read all the tech news articles shitting on Steve Huffman in diplomatic ways. It's very satisfying.

At this point Ive completely replaced my addiction to reddit with one to lemmy

Lemmy has replaced everything reddit was for me, so I just deleted the app

ive been spending anywhere from 1-4 hours a day on reddit for the past..13 years? probably the most ingrained habit i have. Broke that habit as of two days ago. Weirdly enough, its not even that difficult. Its like i just understood that its time to move on, like a breaking point in a toxic relationship.

Only downside so far is having nothing to do during public transit. Not enough hobby specific discussion here yet, everyone keeps babbling about leaving reddit, like i am right now.. xd

I opened it twice today and was met with the ‘Reddit is killing Third-Party Applications’ and remembered I need to keep sticking it to the man.

So, I am not the only one doing this. Lol

I swear I've opened Reddit at least 4 times just out of habit before remembering.

I believe in you. We can do it.

Just delete it from your phone

I've set the allowed screentime of the boost app to 0 this week that way I don't open reddit accidentally.

I swore to myself I wouldn't go there during the blackout, and that I would use that time to get better acquainted with Lemmy, kbin and squabbles.

But fuck if I'm not dying to go there and see what's happening. If the Revenge of the Admins has already begun or what.

I'm actually doing my homework on time for once... Maybe I should go play minecraft or something so I don't raise the expectations

I deleted the app last week so I wouldn’t accidentally visit there.

Same, but I don't actually open reddit, I just swipe away all the notifications for it

I switched the apps positions. Muscle memmory now takes me to lemmy!

Edit: Spelling

I deleted Boost for Reddit (damn I'll miss that app) so I don't have the temptation. I also replaced my Reddit shortcut for the Reddark page and added a Fediverse folder. Is exciting to see this place grow!
