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.

Wish it was easier to subscribe to communities. For some reason It hangs when I try to. But its still ongoing development so I expect bugs. Hopefully it gets fleshed out soon.

Devs are actively developing stuff and are very responsive on GitHub. They indicated a new backend version is potentially only a few days away. Probably won’t be feature rich but should help with performance which is important as a lot of instance admins are discovering.

I believe that's mostly due to servers being overrun right now. I've signed up through a small instance run by my friend, and it's extremely fast.
