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.
Why would one million people use that random instance?
Especially when account exporting is done, people will just leave if the instance is slow.
because it is one of the most promoted, for example. Either that one or lemmy.ml. Currently most people don’t even know what an instance is and just look for a main Lemmy page where to register.
Sure, they might migrate, still the problem could easily happen again.
Meh, it wasn’t really a problem on mastodon, and they’re up to 4.5m and isn’t a problem at all on matrix, at around 40m, so, i’m not worried about it.
