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.

MODERATORS
 

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.

Why dont you move all your content from r/Sizz to lemmy?

[–] cocolopez@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa made a huge progress in a short time with the wave of attention Lemmy is getting. I'm liking Lemmy a lot more than rexxit.

Hope most moderators stay there and we get fresh moderation here. (Not sure how were you as moderator, but I had lots of bad experiences)

Luckily some communities I enjoyed there are already here, like Foss, android, linux, open source, Nintendo.

Would love to see many of my subreddits here. (Maybe maybe maybe, specialized tools, unexpected, unixporn, kdeporn, to name a few)

I have a lot of questions about the whole Fediverse concept but I love the general vibe of hopefulness that there is around here, it's crazy refreshing!

I'm also using Jerboa currently and I love it!

P.S. Don't forget to nuke your reddit accounts!

I'd love to answer any questions you have!

Love it! Looking forward to the day where there’s larger communities and 3rd party apps, I’m normally a lurker and it’s hard when there’s so little content, it’ll come with time and I’m doing my part.

I really like it thus far. The web app is slick with Safari on iPhone, but I’ve yet to try it on an iPad or PC. The community seems great. Definitely getting an old Reddit vibe. It’s good to be here!

It is the first time since I got the beta invite to Google+ that I've been so entrenched into a service. I love the self-hosting bit, I love the idea of federation, I feel surrounded by fellow geeks and not a bunch of sellouts. It's been great so far :)

I can’t get mlem to work, so I’m forced to use the web mobile interface, which isn’t ideal. But that’s a problem of having habits and expectations ingrained for a decade of using specific apps.

Uptime of different servers I’ve tried has been spotty. Pair that with the natural growing pains of my more niche subreddits being my more active ones and I’m struggling to find them here…

It’s been a rough day. I want to believe in the potential, but just like with mastodon - federated solutions need to really work on onboarding. It’s helpful that we’re getting large populations due to the lack of ability to access reddit, which Mastodon struggled with. But things still feel chaotic and I don’t know that getting things drilled down to a well curated list of communities will feel as well put together as it did on reddit.

do consider that you came here during the ultimate stress test

Mastodon no longer has those issues, matrix no longer has those issues

Lemmy will get there too!
