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.

    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 :-)
