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.
It’s ok so far. It’s a lot more fragmented than reddit, which is a good thing in the long term even though it’s annoying now.
I’d also like there to be an easier way for me to filter topics I don’t want to see, like communities for languages I don’t speak or furry porn.
I would love to see a way to block communities from my feed directly from my feed. As it stands, it appears that I have to go to the main community page to do so.
