I posted a few weeks ago about how I didn't feel like quitting reddit just yet. and, honestly, I still have a hard time not opening my phone every five minutes to check it.

but I decided to quit because I realized how much of a negative echo chamber it was. I couldn't even mute certain words on the reddit app so I had to keep seeing the same shit over and over again in the popular feed.

it'll be a long road moving from one platform to another, but I'm pretty satisfied not being strangled by reddit's overwhelming snark and negativity.

dunno if anyone here feels a similar way, but felt like sharing my thoughts.

Me irl too! Voyager replacement is the real deal, and I only search reddit for historical information (although less often than I used to)

New user here, that just came over because of the Voyager app. Do you know if it's made by the same person/people that made the Joey app for reddit? Similar logo/mascot and layout, my favorite part of Joey was the color coded parent/reply comments which is so much useful imo.

I just did the sign up and am having an easy time subscribing to similar communities I was browsing on reddit, and tbh I'm happy to just have an app to scroll thru memes and see updates on news stories without the constant raging and not knowing how many real people are behind the 500 comments of one post. It really does feel like what reddit was for me when I started browsing there over a decade ago on my shitty laptop, well before I ever got an app
