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.
As of right now, I really like how Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse operates! Scrolling here seems to be much more lightweight on my low end computer than using Reddit.
Yeah, who knew that serving text and links didn’t need to hog all of your computer’s processing power? It really shows how much tracking BS reddit (especially new reddit) had
Fedia also gives off a very modern look, in my opinion. I have no idea why modern sites these days consume so much processing power. I think that future web developers could learn a thing or two from Fedia.
