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.
It’s good, but it really needs combining of same name communities across the fediverse to prevent fragmentation.
I want to see all the technology instances if I go to /c/technology on whichever instance I"m on. It’s hard enough remembering all the other fediverse names and which instances they have.
I mean, it’s kinda already doing that on the front page, i.e. grabbing all the other fediverse posts.

Here’s the issue trackers for your problem!
I said it in a few threads, but a “super community” feature which can combine multiple communities into one feed is going to be a killer feature. It’s one of the few things missing right now that I think will change the perception of Lemmy once implemented

Yup, been following them closely
Eh. Eventually one will become the “de facto” place to go, same way /r/technology won out over /r/tech.
Give it some time for people to figure it out. This “fragmentation” problem, IMO, is overblown.
It’s also about easy navigation though Say one does pop up, I don’t really wanna remember the fediverse’s name if /c/technology, /c/worldnews, /c/news are all on different instances. I just wanna /c/technology and see things there.
That’s the whole point of the fediverse. I can stay here and see all the other ones, well I should be able to do it easily instead of remembering all the instances
Well I’m not sure how you expect that to work… especially moderation/rules wise.
Yeah it would be cool if we didn’t have to see the instance name but I don’t think it’s too big a deal. Just subscribe to the better one and never worry about it.
