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.
The only complaint I’ve had so far is the difficulty of spinning up your own instance. There isn’t any up to date documentation for the process as the official documentation seems to be outdated unfortunately. Ansible doesn’t seem to work as it give an error. Docker works mostly bit will not federate with other instances.
I long for the day where a script is written that will auto-install the needed dependencies, and will guide the installer through the basic setup. At least for a new instance on a fresh server.
Something similar to PiHole.
As it stands, I’d have to start fresh with a second VPS, as my first is running Apache and I don’t have the time to convert everything to Nginx.
