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.

    Wish it was easier to subscribe to communities. For some reason It hangs when I try to. But its still ongoing development so I expect bugs. Hopefully it gets fleshed out soon.

      Devs are actively developing stuff and are very responsive on GitHub. They indicated a new backend version is potentially only a few days away. Probably won’t be feature rich but should help with performance which is important as a lot of instance admins are discovering.

      I believe that’s mostly due to servers being overrun right now. I’ve signed up through a small instance run by my friend, and it’s extremely fast.
