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.
You stay on beehaw (or whatever you created your account on), and subscribe to other instances. You can then see other instances content via beehaw, and interact with it as if it were local content.
In my case I am hosting my own instance of lemmy, and subscribed to Technology@beehaw.org to see/interact with this post. I am replying to you now from my own instance of lemmy running in my home server.
Thanks for the reply.
I’ve been playing around a bit, and I was able to subscribe to communities in non-beehaw instances, and they are showing up in my feed. That’s now working as expected.
I made a comment in another instance (!chibears@1337lemmy.com) in the “Bold Predictions?” thread. I can see the comment in my profile, and the thread shows 13 comments when I view it in Beehaw, but going directly to the 1337lemmy.com website, shows 12 comments and my comment is missing.
This doesn’t make sense to me. It’s not clear what’s causing the two views to appear differently. I’m assuming the two instances aren’t federating the user properly or something. I would expect an error message or warning if I’m not allowed to post.
Any thoughts what’s going on here?
