Same! I would habitually check reddit via Sync all the time, and would quite rarely visit the site from desktop - only if I planned on posting something too large to really do on a phone. I didn't realise just how much time I spent there until I uninstalled Sync when all this crap started to prevent myself from mindlessly ending up there. I now wonder how much of my life I wasted scrolling through Reddit, and how unbelievably damaging it would be to a brand like Reddit to give people an opportunity to detox like this. I'm really loving Lemmy so far too!

This is how it was for me in the Twitter migration. I'm now a regular Mastodon user and it's a much less stressful community than Twitter was. I think kbin and lemmy may end up the same, the functionality of Reddit but without the ads and algorithmic cruelty and pileons. A healthier social media.
I felt that way last week when I started forcing myself to use Lemmy and deleted the RiF shortcut on my phone's home screen. But now it feels better.
