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

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Bro same here hahaha i've had to catch myself trying to google (aka use reddit) stuff I want to find information about, like 3 times already
I would rather just not look up information and figure it out myself, than use real google search to find information. Fuck their infested clickbait articles and useless shitty microsoft support posts lol. Reddit has spoiled me so much
I gave up and just removed reddit Boost from my phone's home screen. Work productivity is going up hahaha
There is a lot of helpful information there. I hope that some of that can stay as search indexing on archive sites is difficult.
All that said, I just deleted my accounts I had with them. If I use it, it will be without being logged in and only the odd search for something I need.
And hopefully, improvements to platforms like Lemmy grow to where I can search for what I need there or find the best community to ask a question in a few seconds rather than 5-10 minutes. No hate, just where the platform is at right now with the influx.
I disabled the Infinity app on my phone, so even if i click out of habit it stops me
Same. When searching I had a shortcut on my keyboard for site:Reddit. com
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.
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.
