Back when reddit banned 3rd party apps, I just left. My account is still there, once in a while I check something on reddit instead of lemmy due to number of people.

Despite having some good karma and many years, I never felt like reddit "had" anything I'd miss by leaving. You know the "just go outside and touch grass" thing? Literally just leave the place for a week, uninstall any apps, block the site on /etc/hosts, make it enough of an annoyance to sidestep your own blocks and it'll help you.
