I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app
I simply deleted the app to avoid that trained behavior to open it without thinking. Worked well. It’s more obnoxious on the web which I consider a feature now. I only visit it when I actually, really need to read on some opinions on a topic, not for leisure.
Same for me. I haven’t used it for two days and I realized how much other things I managed to get done when I wasn’t wasting time on it.
