I run a few groups, like @[email protected], 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.
Touch and feel is comfortable (if I can remember to middle-click links so I don’t keep closing Lemmy tab), communities are growing, framework looks robust. My only concern is that if I ever move from one server to another (if I decide to self-host), it appears I’ll need to manually rebuild all of my subscriptions which sounds painful.
You can always ask the owner of the instance to get your sub list directly from the database. I know I wouldn’t mind.
Adding it to your own might be cumbersome, but it’s a thing you only do once
A built-in profile export/import feature would be phenomenal.
It would be awesome, however I’m a bit skeptical on the technical possibilities around. While I think it’s definitely doable, the amount of inter-node chatter this can cause could be massive. And then at some point somebody would absolutely try to import a user who has never asked to be exported in the first place. Massive DDoS potential.
I really hate sounding like a naysayer, but I’m wouldn’t be holding my breath out for this one.
