    I got you

    • add ebook reader app to phone
    • download ebooks
    • pretend ebooks are long-form Reddit posts
    • become well-read while wasting time

    If you can’t read, download picture ebooks instead

    Jerboa has been good so far. Somehow the discussions on lemmy feels more engaging than on reddit. Might be because there are no bots regurgiating comments. But the lack of my favourite subreddits have helped my phone addiction 😂 Hopefully this will be rectified soon 😉

      I just wish it was easier to explore other lemmy instances or do anything other than view already subscribed sections in jeroba. On android 11 and earlier you can at least go into settings and make it so that when people post links to other areas in lemmy it will open in jeroba but Google took away the ability to manually control which apps open what links in android 12.

    Try an RSS aggregator app like Feedly and add all your favorite topics/sites. I filled mine up with web comics, car blogs and tech stuff. Also been getting into NPR lately, lots of interesting stuff and less of a focus on politics.

      That’s what I did at first. But for me the beauty of reddit isn’t with the post themselves, it’s in the comments.

        Same here. I miss the sub with my countrymen, where we could discuss the daily happenings/news. I liked reading different experiences on the topics.

      Yeah I did the same with Jerboa a few days ago. I keep clicking it, and it’s actually building the “good” habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit. There’s less content here though, but maybe that’s a blessing in disguise. Filling the “mindless scrolling of the internet” time with something useful should be my actual goal. So having less stuff to browse might help with that.

    I’m actually spending more time on lemmy, hacker news, and (gasp) 9gag as well now.

      Haven’t been to 9gag since a decade ago. When I was still a teenager, I used to be addicted with 9gag. Young me found le comics so entertaining and funny. It was so addicting doom scrolling on 9gag.

      When you see it, you’ll shit brix.
