On a similar note, I find NewPipe and Lemmy help a lot because they let you "bottom out".

Like, once you watch the recent videos from your subscribed channels on NewPipe... that's it. The feed just yells "hey, yeah, there's nothing interesting left in the feed cause you watched it all! Go do something!" Compared to the twitter/youtube/tiktok being like "yeah here's your timer/sleep-reminder or whatever... BTW 😏, did you see the title of this crazy irrelevant interesting event that everyone is talking about"

Lemmy has been kinda the same way as NewPipe. I can sort by recent on my subscribed communities and actually go through ALL the new posts.

I never expected it, but theres also a kind of satisfaction in knowing I've seen all of it; similar to clearing out an email inbox. I think really helps for getting my brain to not doomscroll. Still happens but feels managable instead of depressing.

Yeah, I'm grateful for Lemmy (ie to you all!) in that regard too - I totally didn't expect that kind of effect or that it would affect my life as much.
