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. At the end of the day, perhaps seeing the Fediverse as an alternative to Reddit is not the right mindset, because while the Fediverse sounds pretty good in theory, it still has some flaws that need to be ironed out.

    But I think it’s also fine that the Fediverse isn’t for everyone. As long as we can keep a healthy community here, with nice content and discussions, we don’t need to be a “replacement”. I’m personally enjoying this so far, and Im eager to see how this will evolve!
