I'll tell you my approach and you can use it for inspiration, but keep in mind everyone is different.
I deleted the Reddit app, but still use Reddit sometimes through the browser. This caused me to use Reddit far less, and primarily use lemmy unless what I need is not found on lemmy.
Sometimes what I need is info from a specific community like you mentioned. For example, I am Arab, and there's very few Arabs on lemmy.
In your case, Reddit might be less rare than me. It might be more practical for you to use both apps, or maybe just not use lemmy at all. It all depends on your priorities and what you're looking for.
