Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? (beehaw.org)

I run a few groups, like @[email protected], 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.

Difficult.

I just found a post - which I wanted to add a comment to - but I'm now logged in with Lemmy.world - so when I opened that comment (link) in a new tab, I'm told that I can either log in, or subscribe here (copy/search [email protected]) which now shows 'Subscribe Pending'.

So basically, communication isn't being facilitated in this instance - this is a huge barrier. If a connection, or subscription is required to reply, then this needs to be automatic.

afaik the subscribe pending is simply a visual bug as noted here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2685

each comment will have two links above it, the first (chain icon) is a link to the comment on the instance you are on, the second (colorful star) is a link to the comment on the remote instance which you wont be logged in to.

For example here is your comment on lemmy.word in the [email protected] community:
