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.

    My local instance has quite a few active communities, but I still wish others were more active. One thing I really like is that the discussion in the comments seems to be more thoughtful and constructive.

    Next on my to-do list is trying out the mobile apps. Maybe one of them will be like Apollo one day, because it’s UI and UX are best in class.

    The start has been really exciting and I look forward to seeing how both Lemmy and the fediverse in general develop. Fingers crossed 🤞
