The best increase in productivity for me has not been communities I have followed but instead communities that I explicitly do not follow even if I know I will enjoy them. I used to subscribe to topics on Reddit such as WhatCouldGoWrong, AmItheAsshole, and RelationshipAdvice but they can be time sinks - so I am distinctly avoiding those types of communities this time around.

I did this with YouTube, installed an extension called Unhook that lets you turn off YouTube's homepage recommendations, sidebar recommendations, comments, end video recommendations etc. and it's been a huge help for me. I've gotten used to my YouTube homepage looking blank now with just my subscribed channels and playlists on the left. You can configure it to redirect you to subscriptions from homepage though if you don't like homepage being blank.

Definitely trying this out. It would be great if there was a single all-encompassing app that did this for other Social Media / News sites.

It’s just like me and sweets. If i do not have them in my house, I do not eat them.

Haha exactly. It's easy for me to skip crap food when shopping, but once it's in the house I'm eating it.
