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.

    Heavy agreement. Having seen how corporations host and treat data, it’s a clown show. Everyone knows noone can be held accountable beyond being fired and execs and shareholders know they can’t lose the money they already made. It’s certainly better than that in some places but that’s the baseline because those are the incentives. It’s only better if there’s lots of money on the line in case of a data breach. Real scenario from a corporation:

    So should we update from Ubuntu 18.04 since it’s running out of support? Weeeell… we should but let’s write this feature first. It won’t be too bad if we run for a few months without security patches.

    That’s of course security patches by some random dudes, for the software written by the random dudes.

    🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦

    Anyway, what’s your instance?

    E: Found it.

    E2: I’m falling asleep, I assumed it’s a public instance. I’ll probably be standing up my own at some point too.
