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.

    My overall journey was the GameFAQS message boards -> Digg -> Reddit (via RIF) -> Lemmy

    Lemmy has filled my content aggregation desires while boycotting Reddit. Overall, I could see being here to stay

    I’m still having minor issues, but they aren’t deal breakers. Like, I’ve had issues with my up votes not saving (press it, turns blue, wait a second, then it changes back), so I need to press it multiple times before it saves. On the whole, these errors will be resolved with time, so it doesn’t bother me much

    Main issue I’m trying to figure out now is: how to use federated users for other Lemmy instances. If I’m using the website for beehaw, then go to another instance, it appears I need to sign in, but I can’t see how to use my beehaw account. I started using Jerboa and it seems to handle it, but the comments I’m making don’t show up (when I checked in a browser), so it might be in the UI only, or I’m missing something
