It’s really impressive how Lemmy/kbin have totally replaced reddit for me pretty painlessly. Any time Ive checked reddit out of FOMO, the content is far worse, and the comments are horrid.
I am dealing with involuntary muscle memory. It’s one thing to remove Apollo, it’s another to fire up Edge and resist the unconscious typing of Reddit.com right away.
Leaving Reddit for other communities sparked an interest in trying other things like (new to me) search engines and web browsers. Having those new icons on my home screen forces me to click in different places and form new muscle memory. Maybe you can reorganize all of your apps on your screen/desktop or use a new web browser to force a little pause before you start typing.
I only opened reddit on desktop when I was writing a longer post and couldn’t be arsed to do it with the mobile keyboard. As soon as RIF was gone, I quit.

Lol damn. Yeah it’s harder on desktop.
If you want to be fun you could do a little hosts file editing and have it take you to Lemmy when directly typing “reddit.com”.
Or to pornhub.com. Accidentally bringing that up at work a few times should do the trick.
