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.

I had to move Sync off the homepage of my phone to avoid the muscle memory of just clicking it mindlessly. I have caught myself once or twice wanting to type it into the URL.

I definitely had to move the icon...and so sad about Sync, it's like an old friend.

Don't delete it just yet, the app developer mentioned there is a chance he updates the API and app to work with Lemmy.

This is really great to hear! If I can keep using Sync honestly a big part of what I'll miss about Reddit will disappear
