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.
The default lemmy UI is… not great
It reassembles the new reddit UI and that’s not great. It has a lot of wasted whitespace on ultrawhide monitors.
Kbin’s UI is a lot better and it reassembles the old reddit UI, in a modern way, I like that.
With that said, I’m a huge fan of federation, and want to support it, but I’m aware things aren’t great right now
Discoverabily is not great, and I had trouble finding subs I care about… as a power user… imagine normal users doing that…
Just like with Mastodon, the main Lemmy website has a bunch of technical jargon that will scare any new user away immediately.
