Lemmy is active enough as is and the apps are great but I still have that unfortunate ingrained habit where I keep coming back to abusive Reddit.
I should instead focus my attention to contributing to the conversation here, sharing articles and creating original content.
I went cold turkey when the whole API pricing change thing went down.
If you haven’t been successful in quitting (cold turkey or otherwise) Reddit, I’d say do some introspection on the topic of what keeps you coming back to Reddit. What specifically do you find yourself thinking about when you’re wanting to open Reddit?
Once you have an answer to that question, maybe think about just how beneficial it is to you. If it’s beneficial, maybe try to make something similar a thing on Lemmy. If it’s less beneficial and more just addictive gamification that you don’t actually value, practice some mindfulness around it. When you feel yourself desiring to go consume some Reddit, just observe that desire nonjudgementally until it goes away.
