Feeling like I’m spending too much time doing nothing, and I know the mobile app for Lemmy on my phone is a huge part of this. Has anyone else tried removing Lemmy apps from their phone to cut down? Any unexpected consequences you have noticed?
Block every political community. You save about 30 minutes scrolling. Hell, it’ll dry up the whole site for you
Probably a good idea. I keep a book nearby with the intention of less phone time, but it’s not working.
I just set a timer for my app, then when I reach it I increase the time.

That at least requires more effort than a single tap. Assuming you don’t just have a shortcut on your homescreen.
Then I’d spend zero time on Lemmy.
I guess the ones who have done it cannot hear your question, because your question is right here on lemmy. Isn’t it ironic?
Oh wait… there could be some who have done it unsuccessfully.
I’m using it on my laptop as well, but that doesn’t go with me everywhere. Removing it from my phone removes that instant temptation.
I’m rarely on here outside of work. That being said, I did delete it at one point because my mental health took a dip. Seeing upset constantly in the news and memes etc. Takes a toll on me eventually. I do curate my feed a decent amount but some communities have such a mix that I keep them
Lemmy has no addictive algorithms, so I doubt anyone would doom scroll.
