I subscribe to various programming language subreddits, a couple that hit my current interests (at the moment r/running, r/fitness), and some where people post neat photos (such as r/abandonedporn).
I browse it probably every day, usually while sitting somewhere waiting for other people to join me, or for an appointment or something. But not for too long. Probably 30 minutes on average, with some nights where I get bored and don't want to read a book leading to a several hour binge.
I do avoid all the particularly addictive subreddits, similar to my avoidance of the youtube trap. If I'm going to get lost online for hours in endless tabs it'll be a Wikipedia binge. At least that way I come away more informed than when I started.
