I just switched to Lemmy as my methadone-like substitute drug. I'm still an addict, but with a less destructive drug.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

My plan is to let Apollo kick me out, then place Memmy in the spot it used to occupy. Let the muscle memory work for me
This is also a fantastic discovery and the medical profession of addicted internet shitposters thanks you for your contribution to science.
That's what I did! Put the kbin "app" in the same spot 'rif is fun' app used to be in.
You forgot: only use new reddit, that should be enough to make anyone vomit.
Unfortunately, that crosses a clear ethical line where we intend on doing no actual harm to people.
What did it for me was actually a link that let me see which of my posts or comments were removed without me knowing. So many of them are gone, and I didn't even know. It feels pointless trying to interact somewhere where I'll just be shut down and walled off and I don't even know why.
I just wish Lemmy/kbin had an app, and was more intuitive to use
I don't know about iOS, but there's a few apps out there on Android. I've used Connect for Lemmy and Liftoff, Liftoff is a bit more functional at this point.
Couldn't find liftoff on Google play so I got connect. I wish there was a darkness setting between dark and AMOLED but I'll make it work. Thanks!
It supports markdown, which is cool, and super helpful for transcribing
I simply use Reddit to Wayback Machine addon.
This is not a bad idea until Google catches on, makes some kind of federated leaching system and sucks everything in from the Fediverse.
Ah, yes... the good ol' Touché Grassë.
Not gonna work for me...I never installed any enhancement tools and I was using the default blinding white 'new' Reddit web version...at least you're thinking in the right direction 💪😁
I'm afraid to inform you that your behaviors appear to actually just be masochist in nature and you should report to the nearest mental health facility asap.
Haha! I have never used Reddit without those tools so this will help me detox for sure.
The tools people have created and used to cope with Reddit are simply amazing. It's such a shock to see how badly the user experience has been neglected over the years in favor of the dumpster fire that "new" Reddit is.
I tried, tried to use old reddit. With RES, without RES, using all the recommended settings, tweaking it to my liking... I just couldn't. It's so ugly. I wanted to get into reddit before, but I could only do so when new reddit was launched, and I couldn't believe I was browsing the same website. It's a reason why I'm loving kbin.social over other fediverse alternatives.
Even more effective: just go cold turkey by getting banned for "report abuse" after reporting one too many obvious repost and astroturf bots. It worked for me.
You could but that's pretty rough. I admire your strength and courage though!
For me, the site already went downhill, and I'm only keeping my account there as a placeholder for my own username. It's sometimes funny to see various, usually porn-related bots following me.
Alternatively you can just browse a few communities related to your favorite hobbies and the everpresent toxicity will detox you on the spot.
This worked wonders for me an I won't bother even if I'm desperate.
Sssh Reddit doesn't want you to know this one trick to avoiding their crappy algorithms. You'll take your optimised feed and you'll engage whether you like it or not.
Why does everyone but me hate light mode?
If you try dark mode for a while then go back to light mode it feels blinding. IME light mode is prettier, but dark mode is more practical.
It's not just you, I find dark mode to be uncomfortable most of the time. The big exception is I set my kindle to dark mode for reading in bed without any lights on.
