I have typed the letter "o" for "old.reddit" about six or seven times today out of habit. Thanks to the Beehaw team for providing a space which is better than a simple substitute in many ways. I am simply incapable of operating any of the newer reddit interfaces, so once "old." is history that will be it for me totally.

I'm totally not going through withdrawal.

Uh huh.

Deleted my account and took Apollo off my phone. My hands feel… itchy.

I'm doing the same on 6/30. I had to move Apollo off my front page to stop me from reflexively opening it every ten minutes.

I deleted RiF in the line for the bagel shop this morning. I feel exactly the same way.

There's an app for that

Save and import:

Is there a way for the extension to replace only the domain? for example, https://lemmy.ml/c/memes will become https://sopuli.xyz/c/memes ?

I changed my RIF link on my home screen to open Jerboa.

I opened Apollo once and got a special splash screen. I moved Apollo off the front page of my phone display.
