Back in the ole Reddit days of ereyestermonth I had a habit of closing my reddit app of choice on my phone, and then as a reflex immediately open that same app back up.

The issue has evolved for me on Lemmy. I have two Lemmy apps on my home screen. I was using Voyager before Sync was released and then I started using Sync. But I also kept Voyager on my home screen since Sync didn't support posts when the beta was originally released. But now I'm too lazy to remove it. I still like Voyager anyway.

You see where this is going. I'm now stuck in a loop where I'm closing one app and opening the other, just to read through the exact same posts.

Send help. Or not. This is fine. I'm going to take a break from Lemmy for the rest of the day.

LOL I totally identify with this. I don't remember upvoting, but it looks like I already did. Just un-upvoted and re-upvoted for good measure.

Set one to default open to all/hot and the other one to all/new. And a third one to subscribed/top 24h or something

i have now done this with reddit, lemmy, and mastodon

ah, the joys of having multiple clients to the same platform

I have Jerboa, sync, connect, summit, and liftoff. Each is logged into a different account on a different instance. I like being to scroll through local timelines. On Reddit, I had several different accounts I used for different interests. Lemmy isn't quite big enough for that yet, but different local timelines are interesting, and allow me something to do when one has down time.

Sometimes I remember to check out Mastodon.

I'm an old person, I still check MetaFilter, Slashdot, and hackernews regularly. Occasionally places like hackaday. Also the forums on private trackers. Lots of good content out there, and I'd rather pull a link/set of links I found from somewhere like MeFi or hackernews than reddit.

I start instance surfing. I go into federated instance lists and just pick a random one to explore.
