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.
afaik the subscribe pending is simply a visual bug as noted here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2685
each comment will have two links above it, the first (chain icon) is a link to the comment on the instance you are on, the second (colorful star) is a link to the comment on the remote instance which you wont be logged in to.
For example here is your comment on lemmy.word in the Technology@beehaw.org community:
