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’m using Jerboa and kinda like the look, although it somehow has a but of an Android 2.1 vibe. Could be the ridiculously large don’t when opening a post (when browsing through them it’s fine). I also haven’t found a user friendly way to search between communities and subscribe to one. So far i had to search on one site, post the url in another and subscribe, then wait for it to appear in jerboa. I’m probably stupid and do it the wrong way. If we want users here, outside of tech communities anyway, it’s needs to be waaay easier to use.

    I’m sure the content will grow and it’s all new, so it’s unrealistic to expect everything to be as slick as reddit was.
