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.

    I mostly like it, I think there are still a few things that are rough around the edges and there have been some scaling issues with the massive influx of new people (I think mostly to be expected, we’ll see how things are going forward)

    I think the biggest question is will more people move over? Reddit was what it was because of the people there, not because of the software. If we can develop a similar community here, I see no reason to go back to reddit.
