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 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.

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.
