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.

    So far pretty good. I like the idea of the fediverse, but I’m not sure if it will catch on.

    Also, I hope some of the UI/UX stuff get ironed and are sharpened. I also miss old reddit.

    But overall, it works and I am happy.

      Same - I am not a very long time Reddit user (only got an account maybe 5 or so years ago) so I feel kind of silly not adjusting as quickly to the UX here, but it feels just different enough that it feels like I’m staggering about like a baby deer on ice 😅 I think I’ll get my footing after a while but it’s definitely been a huge leap for me personally

      The fediverse already caught on with mastodon. I wonder about Lemmy, but ultimately I think it will as well.
