If you're like me and have a giant smorgasbord of resources in your saved posts, I'd recommend going ahead and migrating them to your local files. I've just been copy pasting mine into a word document, but there are probably better ways

I just moved my Joey icon off my home page and replaced it with the icon for Jerboa.
Now I come here instead of reddit.
Annoyingly, I googled something today and clicked the first result but it was a reddit link for a privated sub... I'm going to need to update my default search to include -site:reddit.*
I'm sucking at it. I keep sneaking over there to check for new modmails begging to be "let in" to the subreddits etc.
Made a redirect command in Redirector on Chrome, moved Relay off screen and set the Lemmy Chrome "app" where Relay used to be.
Got a slight headstart before the Blackout and Lemmy is already really growing on me
I just deleted/hid the Apollo app and put Mlem in the same spot in my app list. Now when my muscle memory goes to open up Reddit, Iβm on lemmy instead
So is mlem just for apple? I tried searching for it and only found jerboa which I do like just fine.
I unsubscribed to every subreddit that didnβt acknowledged theyβd take part of the blackout yesterday. Iβve opened the app once today and was greeted with a βReddit is killing 3rd party apps (and itself)β post and got reminded to exit the app right away.
Just delete it from your phone
I will, but I have a hard time separating from my Apollo icon it looks superb imo with my background
Just change Lemmy's icon to that
Deleted the RIF app, pretend that Reddit turned into Lemmy, make it work.
Uninstalled the app, blackholed the domain in my Pi-hole servers, and removed the domain from my web search results on my SearxNG server. I use Wireguard from my phone when out and about, so I'm always usnig Pi-hole and SearxNG.

How did you do this? Didn't realize that was possible.> pp, blackholed the domain in my Pi-hole servers, and removed the domain from my web search results on my SearxNG serve

Yep - great feature. I've been excluding Facebook and the other socials for a while now.
I installed a "focus" app on my phone. I set it to prevent launches of Boost (my third party app of choice) and the Reddit app (which I installed a while back and never bothered getting rid of) for the next two days.
When I try to launch either app, the focus app will tell me that I can't. I tested it this morning just to make sure it was working. Now, even if I try to visit Reddit out of force of habit, I'll have blocked myself from going there.
Not avoiding yet, but I just cut my subscribed subreddits by about half. Should reduce my time there.
Reddit has a ton of useful knowledge on it, why would I avoid it? It is not just a platform to doomscroll on... As a social media platform it's as good as dead for me, but it is still a hyper forum with many worthwhile communities.
