    Trying to make that my experience.

    Declined my refund, deleted my Reddit history, now testing like 5 Lemmy clients on iOS, and I’ve only returned to the awful official app to check in on extremely niche subreddits that don’t have a community here yet.

    I’ve eliminated my Reddit doomscrolling entirely which I’m happy about.

    Also the Lemmy client testing is a lot of fun - it’s almost like Wild West Internet again - especially with a lot of the community just beginning to discuss moderation and administration and the emergent opinions forming. Lots of weird, cool sociology at play rn.

        Yep, I am using mostly WefWef and Memmy right now. Memmy is a bit more stable in my experience so far but the UI from WefWef is IMO the pack leader. I was skeptical about the web app but I’m a believer now.

          Yeah it’s the first webapp I really used and I’m really impressed. If you start it from the Homescreen you can’t tell the difference to a native app

      Instead of using the shitty Reddit app, may I suggest using old.Reddit on mobile or even better, use a front end like https://teddit.adminforge.de/

      Either way, good luck on your journey!
