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'm in the same boat. All my Apollo browsing time has been spent on learning this. I basically just tipped Christian £10 then checked out. mlem for iOS is surprisingly good, I feel pretty at home on it, at least for basic scroll browsing

Thanks for suggesting mlem. Found the TestFlight and it’s so much better than the website. I’m also a former Apollo user so my expectations are through the roof.

Yeah it's not gonna be easy, but honestly I do see potential in mlem and I think with some basic additions, it can get itself closer to that Apollo experience. Which of course is what all apps should aspire to
