MODERATORS
 

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.

I like the jerboa app on mobile but I dislike the desktop site layout. I've used Shine for Reddit for years for the grid layout. I'm hoping someone will eventually release custom layouts to make use of all the space on desktop. The content is about the same after subscribing to lots of communities.

It's very nice! In general it's cleaner. Community so far is much friendlier. I like that there are fewer of us so far. It's more homely?

However, joining communities is still a bit rough and difficult and a bit unreliable for me at the moment.
