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.
Curious what you mod, if you don’t mind telling.
/r/childfree is the biggest one, then there’s /r/askagerman, /r/china and /r/bali. All of them have a new home on lemmy theoretically (https://lemmy.world/c/childfree, https://feddit.de/c/germany [merging /r/germany and /r/askagerman], https://latte.isnot.coffee/c/china and https://latte.isnot.coffee/c/bali), but we’ll have to see how the acceptance rates are. /c/china seems to be the most adaptable; which is unsurprising given that people are used to dodging censorship.
The smaller subs I mod (/r/animalaww, /r/expatfinance and some others) won’t even attempt to make their way over.
I’ve started https://latte.isnot.coffee/c/coffee though, simply because there wasn’t any other one around (and to honor our instance), and at least there seems to be some initial growth, so who knows what’s gonna happen.
Thanks for indulging my curiosity. Seems like an interesting mix. I’m sure adoption rates will be slower for non-techy interests, but Reddit had a slow adoption for those types of things too.
Well, I’m a childfree German living in China who visits Bali once a year. Over time I got modded in each place as a heavy user, so the mix happened organically :-)
