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.

    Mastodon, Akkoma, Pleroma, Calckey and Misskey together are somewhere in 15-16M users. There is already so much content it is impossible to catch it all. And it is still growing.

    God damn, Linus Torvalds is roasting Nazi trolls in there, it is awesome.

    I would definitely say the whole Twitter-like side of Fediverse really took off…

      well i cant deny that, but i guess i mean in a sort of day-to-day way. like, if i ask one of my friends what their mastodon is, they would probably look at me sideways or ask if i mean the band. lol

        And then again a lot of queer/trans community is very active in there. And same for Rust/NixOS community.
