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 like it! I especially like that you don’t even need to make a separate account to interact with the communities on there! (I’m literally commenting from a custom fork of
glitch-socright now) That alone makes Lemmy better than any normal Forum out there.Edit: doesn’t appear that Lemmy handles content warnings in replies
You have
:vim:in your user’s “tags” (flair? desc? Idk). I haven’t found a good vim community on Lemmy, so I’m interested if you have a recommendation.I guess that would make “community discovery” as a particular thing I’m having some difficulty with. Getting better as I’m getting more familiar with everything, but it is a pain point
@neotecha
If I remember correctly, there’s a vim community at @vim . You can also look for communities at https://beehaw.org/communities/listing_type/All/page/1 , including being able to search for them. :)
Thank you. I’ve found one of the communities with the search functionality.
You’re awesome tho!
