Leaving Reddit for other communities sparked an interest in trying other things like (new to me) search engines and web browsers. Having those new icons on my home screen forces me to click in different places and form new muscle memory. Maybe you can reorganize all of your apps on your screen/desktop or use a new web browser to force a little pause before you start typing.

Lol damn. Yeah it's harder on desktop.

If you want to be fun you could do a little hosts file editing and have it take you to Lemmy when directly typing "reddit.com".

I only opened reddit on desktop when I was writing a longer post and couldn't be arsed to do it with the mobile keyboard. As soon as RIF was gone, I quit.

Videogame subreddits are the only reason I use Reddit now especially Indiegames and patientgamers, so I used the ReVanced Patcher to patch RiF, so I don't have to use their shitty app.

I still skip over to Reddit occasionally to check out some of the more niche ones out. But some of them have either really turned bad since they came back from protesting or weren't that great in the first place and I didn't realise.

For instance I used to go on r/AndroidGaming a lot to find decent games for my tablet. But it's a really repetitive sub with virtually the same questions, same answers, same plugs for shitty games every day.

I've watched this place explode since Monday, this is just the beginning
