How should we be using Lemmy?

It only really matters for the "local" feed which instance you choose. I don't really see much point to that one honestly, except if you're on something like startrek.website where "local" is "show me all star trek stuff", or something similar.

And yes, it is important to spread out the user base across multiple servers and not all end up on lemmy.world.

So I'd say find some smaller instance, maybe with a community actually physically local to you, and make that your main one. Or don't and stay on lemmy.world, I'm not your dad.

Perpetual plug to my userscript which changes all links to point to your home instance to make this even easier :)

Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit?

It's important to note that the default state of people is being dumb. It takes effort, exposure and more qualities/circumstances during a person's early years to not be dumb.

Many people just didn't grow up in an environment that allows that, it's actually a quite specific one that doesn't happen automatically.

And once the early life phase is over, mental plasticity is a lot lower, so very very few people go from "dumb" to "not dumb".

If you want to be less dumb, I can really recommend https://lesswrong.com/rationality

Any chance of putting this on F-droid?

lemmy.ml is on 0.18 so jerboa 0.34 doesn't work with it, only 0.35. Shouldn't crash but well...

Honestly I'd suggest using the browser, the web interface works perfectly well on mobile. If you use Firefox or any other browser that can install UserScripts, you can add some useful ones like https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-rewrite-links-to-home-instance and https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469196-gm-lemmy-newtab
