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.

I simply replaced the Reddit Sync shortcut with Jerboa on my phone, works wonders for me :) just need to find a few good replacement communities
Search results are so full of trash I had the habbit of adding reddit to the search
yeah, it's very difficult. even in google searches, the links come up and I then realize how much I depend on reddit for google searches.
I've been testing out other search engines and have currently landed on Brave Search. Every single time you search, there's a big block of threads from reddit near the top of the search results. It's not been easy to stay away.
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 unfortunately had to use reddit to resolve an issue with angular 😭😭😭
i have successfully made it a whole 12 hours without opening reddit. i've chewed a lot of gum and also been to the gym. i think i can do it.
I'm not sure why you think you need to avoid Reddit at cost to you finding the information you're after.
If the information you want is on Reddit, why wouldn't you want to read it?
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 🙁
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.
this is already so much like reddit of old, im cool with it. if it comes up in a search thats fine, might port the data though!
That's why I went for the nuclear option and deleted 13 years of accounts and comments, a lot of those comments being fixes for various Linux issues, I hate deleting something that could help someone, but I figure a lot of them are old enough to not really be needed anymore.
I'm considering filtering reddit out using Portmaster since I use Portmaster anyway.
