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.

    I’m trying to like it, but it’s hard. It doesn’t quite scratch the doom scrolling itch like Reddit did. I’m using Jerboa and it’s missing a lot of features that I relied heavily on with Relay. Ultimately I’m just going to have to adapt though because it looks like Reddit isn’t backing down and I’m not going to use the official app.

    In good news, I always hated my Reddit username so it’s nice to finally get to change it lol.

      Also using Jerboa, also not feeling it. Also, I keeps randomly logging me out, but treating me like I am logged in until I try to do something and then reminding me I have to log in. So I do, except it doesn’t recognize it right away, and oh look it just did now where did that thread even go?

      It’s just messy and uncomfortable right now. Here’s hoping it improves or a better app comes along.
