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

How do I stop?

    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!

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

      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!

      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.

        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).

      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

        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.

          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.

            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.

    Is it my current hyperfixation?

    On Reddit, I made two posts in years.

    I just looked and since joining Lemmy 16 days ago I have 216 posts and 207 comments, not including this one.

    Hmmmmmmm

    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

    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.
