Roughly a month on Lemmy now and the habitually visit of Reddit completely faded out. Lemmy replaced Reddit without any compromises for me. I'm also trying to establish a Bass-guitar related Community here, so there's a bigger investment for me to get things going here.
I feel the same way. It was weird breaking the habit of clicking the RiF app when I unlock my screen, but after a while the need just went away.
I put Memmy where Apollo was and I didn’t even have to retrain myself
I do find that I use the fediverse less, as my “front page” gets stale much quicker. But this is not only something I can probably fix, but also don’t mind because it reminds me how much I duck out into social media which helps me say “ah fuck it” and do something else.
Exactly the same here. But I have a feeling the stream of content will come sooner then later too
Unfortunately I've been reeled back to RIF because you can apply a patch now that allows you to login. It's hard to resist the familiar look of that app.
Ahhh, I'm not sure if I should let that addiction back in!
I can't even find RIF on the app store anymore, did they take it down?
It's available if you can find the direct link to the playstore. I have a link to the golden platinum version.
Would you be willing to share, please?

I agree. I'm not getting nearly as much content over here, but I don't miss it at all. I didn't realize how much of my time on reddit was spent "hate-reading". It has totally transformed the way I use the internet; I almost never commented on reddit.
Lemmy has been an absolute revelation for me. I was so lucky to find it early on and I want to share this experience so others can have the same happiness. Just waiting for the developers to iron things out first before I try to recruit my normie friends 😅
I put the Memmy icon right where Apollo used to be so now Memmy is where I go. The main feed isn’t as plentiful yet but it’s growing…
Same.
I only check /r/ModCoord once every couple of days to check on the state of the dumpster fire.
Same here, although, like once or twice a week when I remember that I used to go on reddit I go there to see what's going on, but the habituall check is now always lemmy.
Third week for me and haven't visited for a few days now. Less and less as more content shows here.
