Reddit and Lemmy, I can't stop opening Reddit and Lemmy every few minutes, I'm completely sick

I use an app called Lock Me Out to ensure that I don't get into bad habits of scrolling too long.

I recommend getting into some other hobbies that require your attention.

I dunno if might help - but I had a problem with reddit (before switching to Lemmy). I ended up putting an app timer on it for an hour every weekday and 2 on weekends. Honestly, it helped a lot for me.

Yeah, I used the LeechBlock browser addon for that. Worked ok, though I was often tempted to override it. 😅

Do what I did and get perma-banned from Reddit. Then you'll just be addicted to Lemmy. 😤

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

Then you'll just be lurking all the time lol

(I don't have an account but still lurk on reddit with adblockers)
