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 was never much of Twitter user, but I like mastodon due to the community. It’s such a wholesome place. Lemmy seems to be going that way as well.

      I tried mastodon very briefly about 6mths ago, and it seemed pretty quiet ala diaspora - has it filled up a bit now?

        I was never a big Twitter user. So it’s hard for me to judge, but it requires being a bit more active and following people.

        Start searching hashtags and following the people you find interesting. I typically just use it as a way to scream into the void about what’s on my mind and then respond to the responses I get.
