I am, and I've noticed one welcomed effect it has had in me.
I'll admit I had an unhealthy phone habit of mindlessly scrolling and Reddit nurtured this.
As much as I'm excited about Lemmy - the barriers I'm finding of finding content that appeases my desire to scroll has greatly reduced my phone usage. Smaller user base, inability (for me anyway) to find communities and content through the search etc.
Lemmy is just good enough for me not to go back to Reddit, but not matured enough to replace the addition.
Agreed. My phone tells me my usage time on it, and I used it for 5 hours less this week due to just not feeling like fucking with the official reddit app. I'm trying to keep it like that.
There really needs to be better community search tools into mobile apps (Android).
Having to open a webpage to find communities, then log into it to subscribe is a big hassle.
Yeah I agree, it would be nice to be able to search "baking" and get all the instances that have a !baking@.... community.
Early days, it'll be interesting to see what the 3rd party app developers come out with.
