I have not been active on Reddit for a while. I mainly just doomscrolled a bit in the morning and evening. My habit for a long time.
During the blackout I still caught myself doing that but stopped it over the days afterwards. My feed mostly still worked but I also noticed the interesting posts I actually looked deeper into seemed to vanish (or I just doomscrolled less and didn't find them).
I've finally stopped that habit now (though I liked it since it was not excessive and hope to replace it with Lemmy).
Especially since my Reddit-App of choice, Infinity, will be switching to subscribe-only (decent way tbh) I don't see myself paying for it for the bit I use it. And I won't go back to the offcial app. That one started (literally!) draining my battery like crazy because Pi-Hole blocked the trackers and it kept Brute-Force attempting to connect to a specific one. My smartphone was hot for up to 2-3 hours after using reddit. I reported the issue, it got supposedly fixed, then returned a few days later (after which I switched to a 3rd party app). Otherwise I actually liked the official app and didn't have any (other) performance issues at all.
