1. Get bored.
  2. Open Reddit.
  3. Remember I’m not using reddit today.
  4. Open Lemmy.
  5. Go do something else.
  6. Go to number 1.

      That will probably take a while. The only reason we’re here is because of reddit and spez being a greedy pigboy, so naturally that’s gonna be a topic of discussion for a while.

      Once this place has a chance to build up a bit of an identity, I suspect that’ll go away.

        I think that major subreedits also have a place on lemmy helps getting everything closer to the old normal

      As the other community said, right now, we’re just here because of spez being an asshole. Let this situation end and it’ll normalize

    I ditched Reddit a few weeks ago for other reasons (I am going full FOSS/decentralised services). My Reddit account was 11 years old, I don’t miss it at all.

    It’s usually difficult for me to break habits, but right now I’m motivated by rage and contempt, which is making it a lot easier. And the fediverse is like a methadone drip to come down from the heroin-like addictiveness of endless information.

    Tip: instead of opening reddit, just search “reddit” and read all the tech news articles shitting on Steve Huffman in diplomatic ways. It’s very satisfying.

    ive been spending anywhere from 1-4 hours a day on reddit for the past…13 years? probably the most ingrained habit i have. Broke that habit as of two days ago. Weirdly enough, its not even that difficult. Its like i just understood that its time to move on, like a breaking point in a toxic relationship.

    Only downside so far is having nothing to do during public transit. Not enough hobby specific discussion here yet, everyone keeps babbling about leaving reddit, like i am right now… xd

      Find a community that you like here and create post and talk. Only way around reddit for now. Give it a week and it will die down

        The blackout is over after tonight, so I guess we’ll see how things go then. I left because rif is shutting down on the 30th, so I figured I might as well cut the cord now. I deleted the app when the first sub I subbed to went dark, and I haven’t looked back. Today is my third full day without it. I haven’t been on Lemmy as much, which is definitely a good thing, lol, but I’m really enjoying it so far. The community seems much more conversational and less offensive. I don’t get offended easily, but when people do it just for the sake of being offensive, I don’t like it, and reddit was full of those people.

      Most of the redditors only use reddit. To get news, memes, communicate, QnA, everything. That’s the reason this protest isn’t that effective. People are still gonna browse now and then and give them the sweet ad money, because people literally have nothing else to do.

    I opened it twice today and was met with the ‘Reddit is killing Third-Party Applications’ and remembered I need to keep sticking it to the man.

      Very much this. I’ve got an almost automatic habit of opening reddit when I’m bored and don’t have much to do. After a couple of times of seeing that message, I’ve been searching for the lemmy counterparts for my favourite subs. Turns out a lot of them are getting some steam!

    I anticipated this and deleted my (3rd party) app icon on the 11th. Just migrated here today. This definitely fills the void for me. I’ll only miss a select few subreddits.

      Same, RIF will be dead soon once the API changes take effect. Might as well rip the bandaid off now.

    I’m actually doing my homework on time for once… Maybe I should go play minecraft or something so I don’t raise the expectations
