Have you tried knitting?
me at work rn 🙄
Every time I unlock my phone I:
- Check WhatsApp
- Check Discord
- Check Mail
- Scroll Lemmy for about hour
- Read a post I want to help
- Go down at least 3 different rabbit holes at once for the next 2 hours
- Give up
- Close Lemmy
- Don’t know what to do
- Open Lemmy
- See no new posts
- Close Lemmy
- repeat until I turn my phone off
Discord
better foss frontend: https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord
phone
Better not use it at all
Can’t convince my normie friends to do that
if people are going to use it, best they use a frontend
When I open my phone, I look at a couple of things like news / weather / Lemmy, and then in about 5-10 minutes I’m done taking a dump and I put the phone away until I get a message.
Most of the time I don’t use a smartphone for the Internet, it’s just my pocket messenger device.

@suika game yes
5? Wtf?
I used to still read Reddit through Narwhal, but a this weekend they cut off free access.
So now I am down to two apps, Lemmy and Youtube…
meditate, idk? the crud I read always bubbles back up then & I can chew on it more & even get more out of it (c.f. rotating a cow in your mind) & eventually the thought of something fun to do takes over & then I don’t need the garbage feeds anymore. Free dopamine!
just wait until instead of the day it’s your life, and instead of apps all your friends and family are dead
Ok grandma, I’ll come visit you in the home again on Christmas

not sure why but my mental health gets way better when i use my laptop.
im a zoomer so i started out on a phone and only got a laptop a few years ago, i thnk it might be because everytime i opened my phone i would just rot away and i just go back to those habits whenever i use my phone. when i started using a laptop my entire schedule changed and updated(for the better). and having a slow laptop is prob also good to avoid wasting too much time on video games lmao
Gen Z here, I actually had the exact opposite problem. I don’t really use a smartphone now, but when I did use it daily, while I could get into some article rabbitholes, it was never to a painful extent. Probably because the phone is small and not at all comfortable to interact with long-term. But when I am on the laptop - I often lose track of time spent on IRC, youtube and newsfeeds. I now try to strictly limit the time to only what’s needed (unless IRC has a conversation that is really relevant for me), and download most articles onto an E-reader for a less painful experience.
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that phone OSes and apps are designed to steal our attention at all the times. I find it hard to do stuff while receiving notifications here and there, or even knowing that a new notification may pop up at any time. If fells like trying to do something while someone is watching and poking me all the time.

Do Not Disturb would work better for that issue. Revanced is good though. +1
I’ve been playing this in a browser in my phone. Drop the fruits on each other to make bigger fruit and get a high score:
Edit: dare you to beat my high score
Woo I watermelons!
oh no
bruhh nice one! Saw it, played it, and one hour passed by!
Anyways, I also have an interesting game to share yall lemmies. Just a shooter game but I swear I’m addicted to it, ngl any game with simple gameplay like this have something that make me can’t stop playing. Bet some of you have played it before (it’s kinda popular tho) Here’s the link:
You’re welcome.
I got 2632… for some reason uploading a 9kb jpg and it says it is too large… wtf…
But yeah, this game is awesome, thanks! The feeling of about to die and then boom, first watermelon ever is pretty amazing!
That’s awesome! Nice job
I love this, thanks for sharing! Already blew 15 min on this lol

Email, Feedly, Megalodon, Voyager
You should try gReader paired with Innorader for back end sync. It’s dope AF. Also good recommendation on the mastodon app. Rocking Sync and Boost. Fair Mail, so I never have to open Gmail on my phone.
1 app missing… Maybe vimusic…
Cornhub
MournHub, for sexy widows
The five apps for me are probably:
- Lemmy
- Mastodon
- Discord
- HN
- My school portal (bruh)
That’s easy. Rinse, repeat.
