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.

Not a huge fan of the UI (so much wasted space!) but it works for now. I'm subscribed to a few communities but the content is pretty stale. I've seen the same posts at the top for a few days now. The "Active" selection keeps the same things over. I tried a few of the other selections (Hot, Top Day, etc) but there is this weird thing where it randomly refreshes the feed and adds one or two new posts at the top and then pushes everything down. Again, UI/UX issues.

I'm using Jerboa, and posts seem don't disappear unless I interact with them (up vote, down vote, or open).

I keep forgetting this, which results in the same posts appearing over and over in the feed. This makes the platform seem inactive when it's really not.

Maybe you have something similar going on.

I'm on the website via a browser on PC. If the only way to make things disappear is upvote/downvote then that is another example of bad UX. I may not care about the post and now I have to proactively vote it up or down. On the flip side, if I was actually interested in a post and wanted to come back to that discussion later, you are saying it will now be gone from my feed. That stifles discussion.
