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.
Loving it so far. Once you get used to how you connect to other instances it’s a breeze.
Like you said Jerboa, is really coming along nicely and is easy to use.
Can’t reysee myself using Reddit much any more tbh
I’m trying to use jerboa, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to subscribe to communities on other instances. Even if i have the url
Enter https://yourinstance.example.com/c/somecommunity@otherinstance.example.com into your URL bar and it should come up after a bit and let you subscribe. Some instances have blacklists you can find under the “Instances” link down bottom, but usually this should do the trick.
Thanks, that worked
At the moment I’m just using the search within Jerboa to do that. It’s at the bottom of the app, and I just search for Formula 1 it will bring up a list of communities with that title.
