I’ve done exactly the same thing. I’m now exclusively consuming Reddit via the Reeder rss app and I’ve cut my usage down by about 80%
I’ll be honest that I’m missing the Apollo experience a lot more than you seem to be, but it’s provided me with a method of weaning myself off the site and is much rather that than have to just go cold turkey when I delete my account on 30th June
That’s how I’ve been experiencing reddit for many many years. When you get used to accessing information this way, in a structured, cohesive and whole manner, you can’t easily go back to “timeline” modes information presentation where everything is mixed up, hard to relate and impossible to paginate. That’s why Twitter and mastodon have never made the cut for me.
I really need to take the time to build out more RSS feeds for all my stuff. I’m so sad to lose out on Apollo but really enjoying Beehaw and learning more about the Fediverse
How many of these posts about reddit have to keep popping up before the mods start cracking down and making this community about technology, not love/hate letter spam about the reddit incident. It’s gotten old.
Use one of the MULTIPLE communities about reddit for these posts. This isn’t even about technology, this is someone using this as their own personal microblog thinking other people care that they’ve moved on.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How long until Reddit remembers they’re providing RSS feeds?
Until then, good idea! I’m going to have to set that up.
