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.

Uncomfortable. There are two or three users in the instances, and all are silent. "Federalization" is dumb, for the chuckleheads of decentralization. The app and website are crude. Settings are not saved, blocked content hangs in the feed.

I joined a Lemmy instance first (infosec.pub) but joined fedia when I found out about it this morning. Overall, I'm finding kbin much more responsive, better UI, and easier to grasp concepts and searching is definitely easier.

I'm hoping some of the developers of the third party Reddit apps shift their apps to Lemmy/kbin.

I've tried https://lemmy.ml/c/mlemapp and it's definitely a good start, but a long way to polished. I'm excited to see it's growth and development.

Honestly it hurts my eyes. I hope someone comes up with a few more themes or CSS-appliable styles for it.

Try jerboa and customise it

Lemmy has some rough edges that will put off many nontechnical users.

I like it in general and think it has a chance to stay, however I feel it needs a bunch more work than Mastodon, which works close to a full release, except the oddity the Elk Alpha client doesn't have a report button, but is better than the default.

The fediverse? Meh. Beehaw? Loving it

I'm enjoying the process of figuring it out. I think I have a basic understanding, but I'm still having a bit of difficulty finding slightly more niche things I'm interested in. I have no regrets deleting my Reddit account, but I will miss certain subreddits.

I didn't come here to talk about Reddit all day, but every thread on lemmy is just reddit, reddit, reddit. So I'm mostly lurking until that is gone.

It's pretty cool, Rick.
