Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

Can jerboa be used for kbin?

Not yet.

For kbin I use what I've recently learned is called a "progressive web app" on Android. I tried to save a bookmark and put a shortcut to that bookmark on my phone's home screen. Now when I tap that, it launches kbin in a sleek looking browser but without any of the browser parts showing. You can even long-press on the app shortcut to launch straight into different sections of the website (eg. Microblogs, magazines, or people)
