Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?
Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?
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 tried the fediverse with Mastodon to replace Twitter, but it didn't work out. On Twitter, I was exclusively following accounts of personalities/organizations. As these accounts did not make the switch from Twitter to Mastodon, there was little use.
I feel like the fediverse works way better with content aggregation. I don't really care who specifically is on Lemmy, as long as there is content and discussion. So far it's been really nice.
Honestly, great point. Aggregators don't need a hugely enfranchised userbase, just enough people that share a few interests and suddenly, functionally, it's comparable to reddit. Only thing it's missing is a huge knowledge base of questions already answered, but for the most part that's not the bulk of my reddit experience and something else will replace it for that in time. But as long as there's some people here, it's doing it's job
i feel the same with the whole, following major companies and corporations on twitter, no now my mastodon is only linux and developer stuffs.
looking forward and hoping that lemmy does continue to grow! especially considering the recent announcement that reddit will not back down on changes amidst the black outs
