Save your Lemmy homepage as a shortcut on your Home Screen, move your Reddit app and replace it with your Lemmy shortcut.

I just opened Reddit 5x today and had to figure out how to train myself not to use it. This seemed to help me, I hope it helps others too.

Stay strong brothers and sisters. Remember, the more we post, the better it gets.

    Another approach is to switch to a distractless Launcher. I personally use Olauncher, needed 2 days to get used to it… never looked back.

    I’m doing exactly what you suggested…but man it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I am both figuring this out and completely confused. But I was that way on Reddit years ago.

        Same. Helped a lot. But after 3 days I still find myself looking for it before remebering that I should look for Lemmy instead.

    Just switch to Jerboa. Yes, it’s a bit janky, but endure. It’s well worth it. Edit: forgot to write, a place where Jerboa icon is is the place where Infinity stood for 4 years. Same phone, yeah.

      I wish, but I’m on iOS and the equivalent, Mlem, is straight alpha jank. I actually turned the spot Apollo used to be in, into a folder containing both the web shortcut, Mlem and also a shortcut to Lemmy Community Browser and use all three for different things for now due to feature disparity

        I have to say, I kind of like that Android has a better app than iOS for once (albeit barely).

          What do you mean for once? Especially in the FOSS space iOS is woefully underrepresented. Although I suppose that makes sense given the walled garden, closed source approach of apple

    Yepp. I still catch myself typing “Re…” in the app search on my phone only to be baffled that I deleted the app…
