Deleted the app. I still go directly to the subreddit pages I want to see (in a browser), but without logging in, and without ever looking at the home feed.
I haven’t commented on Reddit or used the app in months now. TBH, I’m even annoyed I have to go over there for my niche subs, because I hate the advertisements. I really do enjoy lemmy more than Reddit now.
Deleting the app did wonders for me. Well, Reddit deleted the app FOR me (Apollo user), and I refused to install their adware app onto my phone.
Forced me to only use it on PC, because visiting via phone browser showed like 3 comments on thread, then linked to some other thread, and insisted I install their adware for “a better experience”.
PC I was still browsing and occasionally commenting on old.reddit for a while, with uBlock on high censorship mode. But all my mobile browsing was gone.
