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.

Having to make a new account because I wanted to see NSFW on another instance was kind of a mood killer. Not sure how that could be done better but I really don't want to be making other accounts.

you can make only one account, but it has to be on an instance that allows NSFW. Then you can see NSFW from other instances too.

Many instances are disabling NSFW because it's hard to moderate and the nature of lemmy means NSFW content could come from other instances and be problematic.

Is there a list of instance that do allow nsfw so I can make a 1 and done account there?

See https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances. That list of "random instances" is updated frequently from awesome-lemmy-instances.csv.

Oh, thanks! Looks like I picked a good one.

yeah this instance allows community creation, downvotes and nsfw - it's basically the biggest no-nonsense instance i found :)
