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.
You're viewing a single thread.
The relative difficulty to sign up will be a deterrent to most people. Every other social network has you up in seconds. This needs to be streamlined.
I'm missing some o the features, hoping they will come in time.
I'm curious what difficulties you encountered, I signed up at beehaw where i had to write a response to why i wanted to join, but even then my account was manually reviewed by a human and when i checked an hour later, I was signed up.
Other communities don't have such rules. I managed to create an alt account on another server and i was signed up immediately, equally as fast as reddit.
Same here, joining was a breeze. Someone said earlier that they assumed Beehaw wanted an essay but they really just want a sentence, seemingly to prove you're not a bot. Maybe if they clarified that they just want a sentence description of why you're joining versus the more open-ended question it is today?
