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.
Great stuff.
Honestly, even if most folks from Reddit don’t stay, the ones that know will most likely stay. I’ve been here for a week and I know I will. In the worst case scenario it’ll turn out like Slashdot used to be. Frequented by knowledgable folks sharing News for nerds, stuff that matters. If that’s all we get in the end, it won’t be so bad. 👌
But I think a lot more will stay.
Anyway, good night!
