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.

  • Technically, things need a bit of polish. In particular, I’m talking about the website being intermittently unavailable, and today I experienced the joys of the page reloading as I was typing a comment. Fun!

    Still, those problems are dwarfed by the quality of the community and the conversations that are had. I’d much rather put up with a few glitches than go back to the idiocy I’d gotten used to. Lemmy all the way!
