I've recently gone "cold turkey" off of Reddit and I've noticed a big boost in my general mood. Also, it's always nice to see someone I know on the HN front page. Hi Toto! :waves:

Same here. When the Apollo app was discontinued a few months ago, I completely quit Reddit. Put the Kindle app in the spot on my Homescreen. Muscle memory got me a reading streak that still lasts.
Same, and it feels good. Although I miss engaging in some niche communities from time to time.

Other tips I have: on Android, you can hide certain apps from the app overview and block notifications.

For example, sometimes I want to go on Instagram to look something up (event info for example), but to do so I have to go to settings, list of all apps, find Instagram, click 'open'. This prevents me successfully from mindlessly opening it and getting stuck on the feed for at least half an hour.
