A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? (self.technology)

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.

How does one find other communities outside of Beehaw on Lemmy, anyway?

And how do I comment there? I found some links and I go there, and I'm not logged-in. Do I have to join every instance of Lemmy...or...?

I'm using https://browse.feddit.de to find them. The search box has been getting a workout from me. Copy the link of the community, paste it in the search box, and then you can join it even if it lives somewhere else.

Been doing the same. The copying/pasting isn't awful, but it feels so incredibly clunky. I wish it was as easy as searching and clicking a join button

there is the /c/<somecommunityname>@<someinstance.zyx> ,for example /c/technology@beehaw.org. It doesn't work at Jerboa tho.

That's helpful, thank you. I was able to get that to work.
