How are you going to avoid using reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I just catched myself looking at reddit again.

To remind myself not to use reddit in the next few days (or never again if I succeed) I added it to my uBlock filter list. Additionally I deleted all reddit apps from my phone.

What's your strategy on how to avoid reddit?

I've set a privacy redirect from Reddit to https://libreddit.pufe.org. Now I can't log in, but if people send me links then I can see what they sent. If I want to comment on things, I'll come to Lemmy.

I logged in to Reddit this morning for perhaps the last time, to extract my list of subreddit subscriptions. While I was there I noticed I had a bunch of "Reddit Coins", didn't even know that was a thing. Missed opportunity for "Creddits" IMO.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to get my subscription list. I like the redirect idea too.
