Reddit habit is hard to break. (lemmy.ml)

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

Muscle memory is also hard to break. I had to remove Apollo from my homescreen :D

I know the feeling. I had to put it in a folder “Do not use”. It’s like the first rhing I check in the morning. This lemmy thing has potential. I miss Apollo so much though. Jesus if Christian ported Apollo to use a lemmy backend I’m not sure I’d even notice it wasn’t Reddit. 😀

I put Discord in its place, my muscle memory has been opening it all morning.

Same lol. Replaced the icon with the Lemmy app for Android and here I am 👍🏻

I made a shortcut automation in iOS to close Apollo as soon as it's opened. Works & has caught me in my habit a few times already. lmao

I replaced my reddit icon with Jerboa. I'm working on my own client in the mean time, though

Did the same! Now I don’t have to think twice before clicking it.

I keep unlocking my phone then opening Apollo, then realising what day it was then locking my phone again.

In a constant endless loop.
