I'm sussing out Lemmy as a replacement. I still go to Reddit but I've pretty much stopped all interactions other than just reading . Reddit has now become a place to fill the blank time in my day between the times I'm busy. Hopefully Lemmy will become a replacement soon than later.

I went total cold turkey a couple of days before July 30th. I figure I'm either quitting for good reason or not at all. Why a half measure? I edited over the thousands of comments in my 14 year old account and came over to the Fediverse.

I downloaded a mobile app for Lemmy and am using Kbin on desktop. I also started using Mastodon. In addition I got an RSS reader and followed a variety of feeds so I have fresh content, sort of a front page, without relying on a website to curate it.

My experience online has gotten significantly better. Not necessarily because these tools are more intuitive or effective than reddit, but I think because I've started to think more comprehensively about how I source content online and the relationships I have with certain websites.
