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’m only on Beehaw. Is it okay for me to create accounts on other Lemmy instances? I don’t want to use up bandwidth unnecessarily.

          Oh no you will be completely fine. Each instance is a different server. They practically encourage people to go to various instances to decrease the load on popular instances. Like, if you are good with this you might as well set up your own instance. It is the same set of communities you get access to anyway.

              Haven’t done it myself, just missing a lot of the knowledge, but suspect just a regular PC is enough if you are hosting for a small group of people. I was thinking to just build an instance for myself to sub other communities.

      If it helps, you’re not alone. I have the same problem and it’s super annoying.
