A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? (beehaw.org)

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 sours 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.

One problem is there is no dark mode button in user settings. I'm sure there is something you can download and apply or something, just would like a little slider in settings before I go snowblind.

There is a dark mode. Just go to your username in the top right, choose settings, then halfway down is “theme”. I chose “darkly” and it looks good to me.

Edit: And I just realized I’m posting on not my main server. Beehaw may be different.

The dark mode is in the "Theme" dropdown!

If you can't find a dark theme in your instance, try the DarkReader extension for Chrome or Firefox.

Hmm, Im in dark mode but it might be because of OS settings

ETA: settings on the left, look and feel, theme

No dedicated toggle button but I personally always use dark mode

Which client are you using? With Jerboa it's under settings -> look and feel. I just set it to black and be done with it.

I tried applying at beehaw and lemmy.ml, but they didn't let me in. So my home instance is lemmy.world, and it just has themes under user settings.

Oh jerboa is the android app. On desktop I actually use the white theme.
