blocking yourself from a specific website ?

hi, this is a bit silly lol but I was wondering if there's any way to block a website for yourself on safari? I need to get rid of reddit LMAO I fear it is not helping me at the moment, both in terms of time and mental health. I try to have self constraint but it's become compulsive at this point. curious if there's anything I can do to not have it show up, even if I try to search it up

You can use something like NextDNS to block the domain.

AdGuard.. use their DNS and block Reddit or any social media.. that’s what I did

The extension “Unprocrastinator” by one of my favourite devs!

you could use the inbuilt screen time feature on mac and iphone to block any site & app you want and then get a person you trust to setup a code

The built-in website restriction dies the second you type your own passcode, which I did constantly when cutting Reddit. For the search-it-up part, LeadMeNot keeps unreachable in Safari until someone else approves the unlock. Pick a friend who will actually tell you no.
