      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.

    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

      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.

    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’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 went traditional and am reading books more and now I‘m also hanging out here. Excited to explore Lemmy a bit with all of you.

          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 :)
