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.

Just switched my RIF app to Jerboa and put it where my RIF app used to be.

It's difficult searching for things in the internet for opinions without putting 'reddit' at the end of it though!

It most certainly is difficult. site:reddit.com is seriously helpful and I can't see myself doing searches without it.

Given how instances and communities work, I wonder how will we do searches in the future as lemmy gets more popular.

Once the internet was bunches of helpful info on weird places. Then search engines helped fix that... hopefully we'll have an equivalent to find info on Lemmy soon

I'm crossing my fingers for a LiF is Fun for Lemmy lol

Tbh, rif was only renamed to rif is fun because they were no longer allowed to use Reddit is fun.

So I wouldn't mind if it was released Lemmy is Fun, but then idk what the holders of the "Lemmy" trademark's policy on using the name.

I did the same. Sync can live in the depths of my app drawer for a while. Muscle memory just got me to write my first comment here. 🙂

The fact Reddit dominates the useful results of so many searches is a problem. That won't work as well with Lemmy because good posts live on different instances.
