Don't fully switch. I only use Lemmy on my phone, and reddit on my computer.

If you are struggling with this, then you are struggling in general. Figure out what's going wrong in your life and fix it.

use a decent app like sync

I mean I did not like readdit a whole lot and it was more finding out how much federated social media had matured. went to kbin, then mbin, then piefed but its all the federation. I like it despite not getting my vicarious mmo thrills from seeing communities for them.

I use an app called eternal which is based on my favourite Reddit app (back when they allowed other apps). Plus they perma banned me for a bullshit reason.

It was run by unbearable assholes, that helped a lot. I used Relay exclusively, and when the API changes were announced it was not a hard decision.

Honestly, just do what you like. You can browse both, too.
