People who still use both Reddit and Lemmy and are slowly leaving Reddit. How do you do it?

I have noticed that I'm very often on Reddit through either Apollo or the website out of mere habit (possibly even addiction). However, I have also noticed that the more I use Reddit, the more I feel agitated by all the negativity and toxicity from the users.

This is pretty much in all subreddits I'm active in. Mostly in piracy and piratedgames, people quarrel over the most trivial things and downvote each other for no reason at all.

Unfortunately, Lemmy has less content than Reddit. Though, I can't call what is on Reddit content anymore.

I mostly used both on mobile. I refuse to use the official app, my Sync app stopped working (can't use Apollo). I have RedReader but it isn't as comfortable, no NSFW, and the UI is awkward.

When my custom API token stopped working in Sync, I just didn't care enough about reddit to jump through new hoops to fix it. It annoyed me each time I loaded the app out of habit, but not enough to fix it.

I think lemmy having less content is a good thing for me. Everything in moderation: I'm sleeping better, reading more, etc since reddit became unpleasant to use on mobile. I'm okay with that.

I don't know how much I actually enjoyed reddit vs how much my brain was just addicted to the IV drip of pseudo-information.
