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

How do I stop?

I almost made a community called the morty town locos

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

Hisssssss

Dude same... Solidly over 100 comments in 3 days. Nothing I have to say is that important.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I don't know. I find this refreshing. I had been a major lurker on reddit but here it feels like its truly a community, but maybe that's the novelty of it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How the hell do I have 66 Posts and 304 Comments in 5 days????

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Very similar thing happened to me & posting habits, when I came over to the Fediverse in November's #TwitterMigration. A genuinely social place is a huge change from corporate social (& I observed a large de-tox bonus personally, especially from Twitter).

@ndr @adhd You don’t. You’ll now be trapped here for forever! muAHhahahahHA :cate:

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's kinda funny how my hyperfocus on Lemmy made it totally easy to drop my reddit habit rabbit hole.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Totally. I haven't been back since Saturday. But I sure have been spending a lot of time here. I thought ibwant going to accomplish something during the blackout. Woops!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Same here, somehow I cannot stop...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Everyone needs to write more, not less.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have the same issue…..I need to get into the habit of actually commenting instead of being a lurker, so here we go!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My issue is commenting too much. I couldn't even stop myself from replying to you now πŸ’€

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was beginning to become somewhat productive, but I recently made an account and have been binging all the lovely communities on all the instances...

Let me know if you find out how to stop lol, I really feel like I'm trading my reddit addiction for this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

omg I saw you moderate a hyperhydrosis community

heck yeah

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

check out my account. I am here for less than a day. help haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

πŸ˜‚. Typical adhd for you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Trying my best not to lurk. Keep getting distracted.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly same. Been commenting more in the last couple days than I have in 6 years being on reddit. The politeness of everyone makes me want to communicate here as well

Yeah I never interact on Reddit but I love the idea of helping build the community here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

too much for what?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Only use it from your phone with an app, and set a time limit on the app. Block it elsewhere.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Omg so many typos Meds wore off, I’m sleepy, got an exam in the morning oh my god

Logging off

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

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.
