I do log on occasionally but it's only ever to ask a specific question or look at a game thread for one of the sport team I follow, and that is only once a week for a couple minutes. Hope I never go back to being a regular redditor.
I've been trying to kick Reddit for _years_.
The problem is that it actually has good content for niche interests. It constantly comes up in Google searches and about 50 - 60% of the time it either gives the answer or opens a deeper query.
I wish I could export all the knowledge from it and not have to unblock that terrible site. The smaller, focused subs aren't the problem, it's the entire frontpage and all the rest of the subreddits. It's somehow worse than junk food like I'd categorize other social media, it's like a hammer to the skull.
Somehow Stack Overflow is more a barren wasteland than Reddit, and Quora is even worse.
This helps me avoid mindless browsing on reddit.

I don't know. Even smaller subs like homenetworking are full of single-picture posts with a title like "what this?" "how fix?" and so on.
People don't even take the time to research a little bit, instead they snap a photo and hope for someone to think for them.
Browsing niche subs nowadays is embarassing, really.
What do you study, that works well on a small device?
My attempts to learn/study usually lead to opening a web browser, which leads me to dozens of tabs of tangents.
My wife OTOH almost fully operates on her phone. Her phone efficiency makes me feel like a smart phone luddite hah.
However, there are tons of great content linked from this site alone that doesn't require any hands on to understand. Get a few ebooks too, and you're set. But I'm general I don't sit on my phone a lot because I have kids, this is a 5-10 mins a couple times a day thing. Not long stretches at all.
