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.

    It’s good, but it really needs combining of same name communities across the fediverse to prevent fragmentation.

    I want to see all the technology instances if I go to /c/technology on whichever instance I"m on. It’s hard enough remembering all the other fediverse names and which instances they have.

    I mean, it’s kinda already doing that on the front page, i.e. grabbing all the other fediverse posts.

      I said it in a few threads, but a “super community” feature which can combine multiple communities into one feed is going to be a killer feature. It’s one of the few things missing right now that I think will change the perception of Lemmy once implemented

      Eh. Eventually one will become the “de facto” place to go, same way /r/technology won out over /r/tech.

      Give it some time for people to figure it out. This “fragmentation” problem, IMO, is overblown.

        It’s also about easy navigation though Say one does pop up, I don’t really wanna remember the fediverse’s name if /c/technology, /c/worldnews, /c/news are all on different instances. I just wanna /c/technology and see things there.

        That’s the whole point of the fediverse. I can stay here and see all the other ones, well I should be able to do it easily instead of remembering all the instances

          Well I’m not sure how you expect that to work… especially moderation/rules wise.

          Yeah it would be cool if we didn’t have to see the instance name but I don’t think it’s too big a deal. Just subscribe to the better one and never worry about it.
