Anyone have a good regex to add to my pi-hole to block reddit?
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 setup TimeLimit to block the reddit apps for some time. I hope it can help you with the redde-addiction.
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 🙁
