I run a few groups, like @[email protected], 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.
Good point. But what makes it a bit more complicated is the fact that from the get go, lemmy is promoting fragmentation. When I have to choose an initial server to login into, I’m bound by their restrictions. I’m finding that I’m not able to find duplicate groups from other servers (search doesn’t show it up) that I know exists and has more users that I’d like to take part of. Would be nice to have a way to streamline that somehow, but the idea of federation shows a lot of promise.
