The amount of comments and posts I have for being here only for 5 days is absurd!

How do I stop?

Is it my current hyperfixation?

On Reddit, I made two posts in years.

I just looked and since joining Lemmy 16 days ago I have 216 posts and 207 comments, not including this one.

Hmmmmmmm

Do you have something like a site-blocker you can use?

For now I’ll be try but more mindful but I don’t wanna stop altogether. I’ll consider if it continues and gets worse. Your hyper fixations, I might post less frequently after a while.

But like I’m really enjoying the community and it makes me feel better, unlike Reddit

I have a digital wellbeing app that allows me to set time limits for each individual app, and I can set work mode to allow whatever apps I want during the work day. When the app is "off" the icon turns gray and you can't open it without telling Digital Wellbeing you need 5 minutes (or turning DW off). This helps me keep my usage down, lol.

See, I would just disable it if I set it up myself, and I'm more "tech savvy" than my friends, so if I delegated this task, I would probably manage to find a work around at some point.

I do often click "use app for five minutes" lol. But often just that pop up where I basically have to give myself permission to be off task is enough to get me back on task.

Naw, man, as long as your contributions are positive, it's a good thing! More interaction will encourage more interaction.

Unless, of course, you're shirking your responsibilities. If that's the case, then get off Lemmy and clean your room!

too much for what?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's the neat part, you don't!

I still have to come across someone who commented and posted as much as I have in 5 days though

This is def too much
