I keep opening Relay today and immediately quitting. Anyone use an app for this? Maybe just need to replace the app location with a new app.

Hahah, that exact thing happened to me, and I had to go through such tech article as well. Hopefully all the useful information from there gets preserved.
Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.
So... exactly what other users submitting content had to do previously. Unless you just lurk and don't submit anything.
Reddit still has tons of useful content and I'm expecting to be clicking on it or some sort of archive in the future. I won't be active of the platform in any way but there's still value in the content they're now using as leverage.

It's pretty painful, but I have to admit: I'm a lot more productive today at work
I feel this, I was buying something this morning and I googled something about it and instinctively clicked on the reddit link that popped up. The subreddit was private because of the blackout. Gotta alter my research methodology!
Yeah, it really sucks. Hopefully enough people move to something else that there's a viable alternative.
I'm committed to doing my part this month on Lemmy, but I'll need others to do the same or I'll probably end up going back to Reddit eventually.
So far I've seen good content here, so keep it up!

I've replaced Reddit Sync with Jerboa as a shortcut on my phone's homescreen. This helps quite a bit as I noticed I opened Reddit out of habit (which isn't great either)
I'm the same. I'm used to adding "site:reddit.com" to my searches to ensure that I get actual answers as opposed to those crappy blogs with 5 screens of nonsense and tons of blank space (supposed to be filled with ads!). Not to mention all the obscure problems that those blog owners haven't monetised.

I don't think finding stuff on reddit is that big of an issue. Don't contribute to it's behemoth of content and your habbits will naturally readjust 🙂
i removed my reddit bookmarks and added lemmy instead. now i instinctually come here instead.
What's weird is that I never used Reddit as much as I use Lemmy over last few days 😅

Yeah, I keep starting to type "reddit.com" into my browser address bar. Luckily "feddit.de" isn't too far off.
this is already so much like reddit of old, im cool with it. if it comes up in a search thats fine, might port the data though!
