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.

    I did figure out if I just put /c/community@instance into a link markup it works perfectly across instances for all users, which is nice, but there is no way to know whether the user will actually see a feed or just a 404 if the community is small or the server is slower and it is not yet in sync. clicking the link does not automatically federate unless you type it into your searchbar as far as I know. I havent really tested though.
