I run a few groups, like @[email protected], 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.

      Do you know why?

        It seems very daunting to start using Lemmy at first. Took me a bit of reading to understand how to use it so I can see it being off-putting to others. I was determined to get away from Reddit so I put the effort in to understand how to use it.

          I was intimidated by Lemmy at first. It felt hard to understand and not easy to use. I stuck with it and kept trying to figure out how to use it and after about 15 to 30 minutes I felt pretty confident and am now happily using Jerboa and understand what instances are etc.

          It does seem complicated at first and daunting but hey.
