It's an addiction. Don't tell to go cold turkey. Have an alternative in place and then gradually reduce your timer for Reddit. Look at how much you use each day on average then set the timer for that. So first your getting rid of your high usage days. After a couple of days reduce it by 5 mins. Keep repeating this. Also, trim down the subs you're subscribed to so there's less new content showing up.
What's your alternative? Been meaning to use Lemmy less, but since I started using social media in place of idling/skin picking/bad thoughts when I don't have the energy to do anything else, that's what I return to when I put my phone down. (I have adhd)
Oh Lemmy is the alternative, this was just for getting off Reddit lol
Lmao makes sense
