You don't really have to quit cold turkey. When I stopped using Digg I'd go back now and then but Reddit had become my go to. I phased it out over a little less than a month.

I don't think finding stuff on reddit is that big of an issue. Don't contribute to it's behemoth of content and your habbits will naturally readjust 🙂

i have successfully made it a whole 12 hours without opening reddit. i've chewed a lot of gum and also been to the gym. i think i can do it.

Search results are so full of trash I had the habbit of adding reddit to the search

I setup TimeLimit to block the reddit apps for some time. I hope it can help you with the redde-addiction.

I'm considering filtering reddit out using Portmaster since I use Portmaster anyway.

If you don't run your own search (SearxNG) and dont use pihole, you can get the uBlacklist extension for chrome/firefox to blacklist Reddit in search results on Google/Bing/DDG/etc.

To deter myself further, I even went so far as to block any search results from Reddit in my SearxNG instance.

If anyone else is interested.

In settings.yml uncomment the following, they are commented out by default

enabled_plugins:

- 'Hostname replace' # see hostname_replace configuration below

hostname_replace:

Then add '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': false under hostname_replace, restart SearxNG and bobs your uncle.

I unfortunately had to use reddit to resolve an issue with angular 😭😭😭

I simply replaced the Reddit Sync shortcut with Jerboa on my phone, works wonders for me :) just need to find a few good replacement communities
