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.

Jerboa is what I'm using, has a very old school android feel to it or Windows Phone

Clean and utilitarian. I hope it stays this way.

oh indeed, or at least have different UI options "legacy feel" and whatever new UI the dev comes up with :)

While this vertical format is comfy, there is always room for new perspectives to make view posts easier.

Is there anything even closer to rif is fun than Jerboa?

[–] neotecha 1 points 1 year ago

It'd be nice if we could have RIF open-sourced then expanded for Lemmy, especially expanding to different hosts

I've gotten the settings to be pretty similar to RIF which I used exclusively for the last ~10 years. The list view is crucial. Jerboa also has a feature that doesn't show you posts that you've read or voted on which is handy. Let me know if you need any help finding these settings!
