I run a few groups, like @[email protected], 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.

    Eh. Eventually one will become the “de facto” place to go, same way /r/technology won out over /r/tech.

    Give it some time for people to figure it out. This “fragmentation” problem, IMO, is overblown.

      It’s also about easy navigation though Say one does pop up, I don’t really wanna remember the fediverse’s name if /c/technology, /c/worldnews, /c/news are all on different instances. I just wanna /c/technology and see things there.

      That’s the whole point of the fediverse. I can stay here and see all the other ones, well I should be able to do it easily instead of remembering all the instances

        Well I’m not sure how you expect that to work… especially moderation/rules wise.

        Yeah it would be cool if we didn’t have to see the instance name but I don’t think it’s too big a deal. Just subscribe to the better one and never worry about it.
