I run a few groups, like @fediversenews@venera.social, mostly on Friendica. It’s okay, but Friendica resembles Facebook Groups more than Reddit. I also like the moderation options that Lemmy has.
Currently, I’m testing jerboa, which is an Android client for Lemmy. It’s in alpha, has a few hiccups, but it’s coming along nicely.
Personally, I hope the #RedditMigration spurs adoption of more Fediverse server software. And I hope Mastodon users continue to interact with Lemmy and Kbin.
All that said, as a mod of a Reddit community (r/Sizz) I somewhat regret giving Reddit all that content. They have nerve charging so much for API access!
Hopefully, we can build a better version of social media that focuses on protocols, not platforms.
This is my first post, so hello everyone! I do like a fresh start every now and again but it’s a shame it’s happened in these circumstances. As for lemmy, I’m enjoying it so far. I’m just learning about how it all hooks together. I really like the decentralised concept. In a way, Reddit doing what it’s done may have been the catalyst to give this new framework what it needs to succeed. The UI is similar but feels cleaner than Reddit (which I found extremely sluggish). So far, so good!
Hello first post, this is also my first post! I agree, the UI is very nice, and after you get the hang of the federation of everything it makes sense. Only thing I’m still trying to figure out is which communities to join, especially when there are duplicates across multiple servers.
