Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?

Chris Trottier@beehaw.org to Technology@beehaw.org – 238 points –

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 only prefer Beehaw. I look into the popular lemmy.ml but the categories were all over the place.

Isn't Beehaw just another Lemmy instance like any other?

Some instances are just like any other. Others have more distinct communities. E.g. lemmy.ca is mostly comprised of Canadians and Canada-related communities.
