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.

That's what worries me about this whole thing, it's not distributed in any way and even a decent sized lemmy server could be run on some random old pc with no hardware redundancy, no backups, no way to recover. I mean it's not distributed as in there's no redundancy on that node, so not only is the content on that node lost, you r account and hence all your subscriptions on other nodes is lost as well. Kind of feel like the safest way in that instance it to run your own server.

I bet it won't take long for ways to emerge with which people can backup and migrate communities
