I haven’t gone back since Apollo shut down, and not planning to, but I am curious.

Boost for reddit is still working so I still go there. Many subs are fighting, including /r/noncredibledefense. There are a lot of subs going NSFW but reddit is forcing them to go back to being SFW. /r/NCD is genuinely NSFW at times so i’m not sure what will happen to them. Once Boost for Lemmy comes out, i’m hopping onto lemmy fulltime :)

I was a Boost for user for Reddit. I think Jerboa has been a perfectly acceptable app for Lemmy while we wait for Boost.

I’ve been using Connect and it’s been good. Similar-ish to RIF and it has some nice features/good design.

Jeroba has served me really well while I wait for Sync. It’s not perfect, but I’ve used far worse clients.

Broke yesterday for me, are you by-chance a moderator on Reddit? Apparently you can continue to use Boost if you are

Ah, yes, typical reddit addict having withdrawal syndrome.

Don’t look back…

i have relapsed for the past several days… mostly because my app (boost) has not yet been shut down.

i have been enjoying my fix, but I it does leave me feeling dirty.

As a fellow booster… You’re a whore 😉. Hoping rmayayo really does put together a lemmy/fediverse app.

I’d LAUNCH the Rocket!

There’s a registration up on the Play store to download it once it releases, and he did a pretty open announcement on the Boost for Reddit app.

I’d say somethings coming of it, at the very least.

Haha.

I find the best way to handle withdrawal is to change your habit. I spent time grabbing a few books, and spent a few days with my Kindle or with Foliate fullscreen on my HDTV.

So before, I’d probably spend time answering r/firefox, looking at r/firefoxcss - now I start with 1/2 hour reading Great Expectations. After reading a chapter, I play the same chapter via audiobook - meanwhile I have a couple of TV/Movie versions queued up to watch after finishing reading.

After that I’d probably get into some DadJokes - I can do that on https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes

Next up, an hour reading The Midnight Library

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !dadjokes@lemmy.world

Most movies and tv shows are from books, and reading the book is 99.5% better.

Think of talking Bladerunner movie and doing it as a 30 minute short.

Hello!

May I ask why you are listening to the same chapter after reading it? :) Is it to retain the information or just to not miss anything? Do you do the same regardless if you’re reading fiction or non-fiction?

Same, lol. I gave up reddit as soon as the protest started. Been on 4chan to pass the time, but lemmy has really picked up the last week.

Lemmy is my new Reddit addiction. With Lemmy becoming more vibrant I’m missing Reddit less and less, though Lemmy still has a ways to go.

Remember how reddit fucked up. That won’t happen here because of there being multipes instances. You got contingency. Also as an end user I know its frustrating lately, but everyone is working on making the experience more easy and cohesive. Just be patient

You only need an account on one instance :) I am on lemmy.zip but can still see and participate in other instances/communities.

Well unless an instance is defederated I guess which is perhaps what you mean?

You just need one account to browse mostly everything. For example, I’m from lemmy.fmhy.ml yet I can see your comment which is hosted from lemmy.world

Though I recommend joining smaller instances (like mine) to spread out the server load and make it faster to browse stuff.
