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 setup TimeLimit to block the reddit apps for some time. I hope it can help you with the redde-addiction.
Yeah, I keep starting to type "reddit.com" into my browser address bar. Luckily "feddit.de" isn't too far off.
I made sure to pause RIF so I don't just blindly click on it.
A suggestion I've seen is to add reddit.com to your ublock origin "my filters" page. It works great for me!

If you don't run your own search (SearxNG) and dont use pihole, you can get the uBlacklist extension for chrome/firefox to blacklist Reddit in search results on Google/Bing/DDG/etc.
To deter myself further, I even went so far as to block any search results from Reddit in my SearxNG instance.
If anyone else is interested.
In settings.yml uncomment the following, they are commented out by default
enabled_plugins:
- 'Hostname replace' # see hostname_replace configuration below
hostname_replace:
Then add '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': false under hostname_replace, restart SearxNG and bobs your uncle.
I'm considering filtering reddit out using Portmaster since I use Portmaster anyway.
Similar - I added it to my PiHole blacklist. It can vanish along with Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram!
Seriously! I ended up blocking reddit and its subdomains with my pihole so that I'd stop clicking on things from google searches.
