Back in the ole Reddit days of ereyestermonth I had a habit of closing my reddit app of choice on my phone, and then as a reflex immediately open that same app back up.

The issue has evolved for me on Lemmy. I have two Lemmy apps on my home screen. I was using Voyager before Sync was released and then I started using Sync. But I also kept Voyager on my home screen since Sync didn't support posts when the beta was originally released. But now I'm too lazy to remove it. I still like Voyager anyway.

You see where this is going. I'm now stuck in a loop where I'm closing one app and opening the other, just to read through the exact same posts.

Send help. Or not. This is fine. I'm going to take a break from Lemmy for the rest of the day.

LOL I totally identify with this. I don't remember upvoting, but it looks like I already did. Just un-upvoted and re-upvoted for good measure.

This is your post. You're commenting on your own post. You ok?

What do you mean, bird from sync made the post. That’s bird from Voyager.

Welp, that's enough Lemmy, let me just check kbin where I have an identical set of subscriptions...

Unironically & with no malice attached, you should log off for a bit. Social media, and the pocket scryers that enable it, were designed in part to short circuit your reward centers. If you want off the dopamine treadmill, you'll have to make a concious effort.

Break your rhythm, get a book or something and a burner flip phone for emergencies. Or a lock app.

Oh great, now Hexbear is brigading this post.

I adore the use of "pocket scryers". I will be yoinking that from you now :)

Sometimes I remember to check out Mastodon.

[–] oldGregg@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Set one to default open to all/hot and the other one to all/new. And a third one to subscribed/top 24h or something

I have Jerboa, sync, connect, summit, and liftoff. Each is logged into a different account on a different instance. I like being to scroll through local timelines. On Reddit, I had several different accounts I used for different interests. Lemmy isn't quite big enough for that yet, but different local timelines are interesting, and allow me something to do when one has down time.

i have now done this with reddit, lemmy, and mastodon

ah, the joys of having multiple clients to the same platform

Hmmm, I should start work soon.

I start instance surfing. I go into federated instance lists and just pick a random one to explore.
