I put reddit on my dns blocking list for now. Prevents accidental access. Replaced the buttons on my browser and phone with lemmy, since it's the thing i probably zombie-touch by habit.

Seriously! I ended up blocking reddit and its subdomains with my pihole so that I'd stop clicking on things from google searches.

A suggestion I've seen is to add reddit.com to your ublock origin "my filters" page. It works great for me!

In soviet Russia, Reddit habbit breaks you.

I was trying to describe a former subreddit on a thread here and just habitually looked for its subreddit description and then remembered it was dark and that's why I was on lemmy in the first place.

What's weird is that I never used Reddit as much as I use Lemmy over last few days 😅

Has anyone had any luck with using the wayback machine as an alternative? It may not work on more recent posts, but it should be a viable option for protesting subreddits and routing traffic away from Reddit.

I wonder how difficult it would be to make an extension that handled the redirection.

For me, once Apollo officially stops working I won't have any ingrained habit for reaching out to reddit. I stopped using the website years ago except for reading search results that point there.

I’ve already opened and quickly closed Apollo a dozen times today. Time to break the habit. Going to start reading instead of doom scrolling.

Anyone have a good regex to add to my pi-hole to block reddit?

this is already so much like reddit of old, im cool with it. if it comes up in a search thats fine, might port the data though!
