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.

Did you tried wefwef.app yet? It's the best I found yet

[–] coleseph@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!
