The amount of comments and posts I have for being here only for 5 days is absurd!

How do I stop?

    Is it my current hyperfixation?

    On Reddit, I made two posts in years.

    I just looked and since joining Lemmy 16 days ago I have 216 posts and 207 comments, not including this one.

    Hmmmmmmm

      For now I’ll be try but more mindful but I don’t wanna stop altogether. I’ll consider if it continues and gets worse. Your hyper fixations, I might post less frequently after a while.

      But like I’m really enjoying the community and it makes me feel better, unlike Reddit

        I have a digital wellbeing app that allows me to set time limits for each individual app, and I can set work mode to allow whatever apps I want during the work day. When the app is “off” the icon turns gray and you can’t open it without telling Digital Wellbeing you need 5 minutes (or turning DW off). This helps me keep my usage down, lol.

          See, I would just disable it if I set it up myself, and I’m more “tech savvy” than my friends, so if I delegated this task, I would probably manage to find a work around at some point.

            I do often click “use app for five minutes” lol. But often just that pop up where I basically have to give myself permission to be off task is enough to get me back on task.

    Naw, man, as long as your contributions are positive, it’s a good thing! More interaction will encourage more interaction.

    Unless, of course, you’re shirking your responsibilities. If that’s the case, then get off Lemmy and clean your room!
