I just checked reddark over 8400 subreddits are down, pretty much all of the big ones are closed down, that’s crazy! I only had one reddit brain fart today and caught myself before, so I have no idea how things are there, but I do miss all the nature, castles and sculptures pictures from the stuff I followed.
Yeah, I had that moment yesterday. Sat on the shitter and immediately opened Apollo. Closed it a second later. Won’t happen anymore after Apollo is gone, tho.
Delete it now, start breaking the habit. I had to do the same.
I replaced the location on my phone with Mlem! It’s been helping
Yeah, once Boost is gone for good I won’t have any way to go back even if I wanted to. I’ll just have to find my pretty pictures somewhere else, l’ll suck it up and fix my tumblr accounts, make them look like a real human owns them instead of a bot so people won’t block me :p
I’ll eventually go poking around kbin too and maybe finally actually use the mastodon accounts I made.
I like the threadiverse well enough for general scrolling and chatting, but given the smaller user group right now, I think tumblr will be my replacement for fandom things like Dragon Age, TES, Zelda, and probably Starfield (haven’t checked the tags over there to see if people are posting fan stuff about it yet or not).
I love tumblr for lurking, but never really found my footing there for interacting myself, the whole thing of tumblr (and twitter in a way) of having a page and followers and all that always felt a bit intimidating, i guess? I think that’s what i like the ost of forums like these or reddit. Just coming up and answering a post on a forum like this feels natural and on tumblr felt so out of pocket for me.
I’m sure that a me problem and i’ll figure out , and it’ll probably be one those “oh, that looked much harder before” once i do figure it out, i’ll just start by talking to myself and see who i find.
I agree. I like the idea of communities, rather than following specific people. I like the slight feeling of separation when it is community based. Both have their place, though.
get mlem and put it in the same spot as where your apollo app for is today
r/redlettermedia went down today which surprised me. Glad they’re jumping on board; I hope spez is eating some serious shit right now.
I swapped my Sync app on my homescreen out for Jebroa for Lemmy, so when I instinctively go to open Reddit, I open Lemmy instead. Seems to be working well so far!
Substitute RiF for Sync, and it’s otherwise the same for me.
Yeah, the problem is my phone has that predictive/sugestion bar at the bottom when you open the search bar and more often than not boost is there and my brain goes “oooh, click it!” and im very bad at deleting apps, my way around hoarding apps was restricting the apps i install in the first place. But i opened Jerboa enough last night that its showing is right beside it and I’m keeping Lemmy logged in on the browser.
