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.

    The folks over at r/RedditAlternatives don’t seem to be liking the idea of the Fediverse (Lemmy, Kbin, etc) all that much.

    Do you know why?

        Ah, that I can agree. For one second I expected some kind of past controversy.

      It seems very daunting to start using Lemmy at first. Took me a bit of reading to understand how to use it so I can see it being off-putting to others. I was determined to get away from Reddit so I put the effort in to understand how to use it.
