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 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.

Difficult.

I just found a post - which I wanted to add a comment to - but I'm now logged in with Lemmy.world - so when I opened that comment (link) in a new tab, I'm told that I can either log in, or subscribe here (copy/search !technology@beehaw.org) which now shows 'Subscribe Pending'.

So basically, communication isn't being facilitated in this instance - this is a huge barrier. If a connection, or subscription is required to reply, then this needs to be automatic.

afaik the subscribe pending is simply a visual bug as noted here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2685

each comment will have two links above it, the first (chain icon) is a link to the comment on the instance you are on, the second (colorful star) is a link to the comment on the remote instance which you wont be logged in to.

For example here is your comment on lemmy.word in the Technology@beehaw.org community:
