Technology
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.

Yep. Same here. I needed an answer about makemkv audio files. I instinctively clicked 3 different reddit links. Finally got my answer on some other random forum, but I feel like reddit would have been better 🙁
A suggestion I've seen is to add reddit.com to your ublock origin "my filters" page. It works great for me!
Forward it to Lemmy :)
I setup TimeLimit to block the reddit apps for some time. I hope it can help you with the redde-addiction.
I made sure to pause RIF so I don't just blindly click on it.
Yeah, I keep starting to type "reddit.com" into my browser address bar. Luckily "feddit.de" isn't too far off.
Anyone have a good regex to add to my pi-hole to block reddit?
Has anyone had any luck with using the wayback machine as an alternative? It may not work on more recent posts, but it should be a viable option for protesting subreddits and routing traffic away from Reddit.
I wonder how difficult it would be to make an extension that handled the redirection.
I put reddit on my dns blocking list for now. Prevents accidental access. Replaced the buttons on my browser and phone with lemmy, since it's the thing i probably zombie-touch by habit.
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.
For me, once Apollo officially stops working I won't have any ingrained habit for reaching out to reddit. I stopped using the website years ago except for reading search results that point there.
