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.

    Honestly, great point. Aggregators don’t need a hugely enfranchised userbase, just enough people that share a few interests and suddenly, functionally, it’s comparable to reddit. Only thing it’s missing is a huge knowledge base of questions already answered, but for the most part that’s not the bulk of my reddit experience and something else will replace it for that in time. But as long as there’s some people here, it’s doing it’s job
