Every time I unlock my phone I:
- Check WhatsApp
- Check Discord
- Check Mail
- Scroll Lemmy for about hour
- Read a post I want to help
- Go down at least 3 different rabbit holes at once for the next 2 hours
- Give up
- Close Lemmy
- Don't know what to do
- Open Lemmy
- See no new posts
- Close Lemmy
- repeat until I turn my phone off

There's always gaming or joining a cult.. Or you could do both by getting into Minecraft π€·

Have you tried knitting?
Y'all don't know/remember the struggle. My "apps" used to be 2 or 3 forums -- and not particularly active forums, at that -- that I would check repeatedly, all day long, during downtime at work. Posts and comments were rare.
I do not miss those days.
I don't even understand why people want to look at phone apps all day. I hate browsing the Internet on a phone screen usually, it's so inferior to having a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
I mean if you're at work or whatever and you're bored, I can see wasting time on phone apps, but any other time I don't. But of course if you don't have a computer you can't just use the computer you don't have.

me at work rn π
I picked up a Solitaire app. ScreenTime says I played 6.5 hours last week.
Check them again ten minutes later.
The last one is always github trends. If you end up there, no luck for you then. Go cook something or go outside
not sure why but my mental health gets way better when i use my laptop.
im a zoomer so i started out on a phone and only got a laptop a few years ago, i thnk it might be because everytime i opened my phone i would just rot away and i just go back to those habits whenever i use my phone. when i started using a laptop my entire schedule changed and updated(for the better). and having a slow laptop is prob also good to avoid wasting too much time on video games lmao

It's not helpful in any way, but I do not experience boredom. You can leave me with a computer in a room for 2 years and when you come to collect me I'll just tell you to turn the light off and go away.

I only have Lemmy and Youtube. I'm actually trying to get off Youtube, those shorts are rotting my brain. I tried deleting the app but my Pixel won't let me.
YouTube shorts I could understand. But I love using it for channels that have quality 5 to 10 minute content and I don't feel like it's as much a waste of my time as shorts. Legal Eagle, Hot Ones, Tom Scott, Some More News, You Suck At Cooking, Let's Game it Out. There are some gems out there.

Lemmy, YouTube, and a podcast app for me.
There's still great content on YouTube, but I also understand if people boycott the site for moral/personal reasons.
Use ADB to actually uninstall it using a computer.
I wiped everything from my Samsung phone, even google stuff then installed what I wanted afterwards.

Make one of those apps Wikipedia and you won't have that issue
I used to still read Reddit through Narwhal, but a this weekend they cut off free access.
So now I am down to two apps, Lemmy and Youtube...
meditate, idk? the crud I read always bubbles back up then & I can chew on it more & even get more out of it (c.f. rotating a cow in your mind) & eventually the thought of something fun to do takes over & then I donβt need the garbage feeds anymore. Free dopamine!
The five apps for me are probably:
- Lemmy
- Mastodon
- Discord
- HN
- My school portal (bruh)
