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.

I wish there was a way to collapse branches of nested comments.

Enjoying it so far, thankfully I had already been using Mastodon for about 6 months so I've had time to get used to the quirks and discoverability issues that come with the Fediverse. I hope the learning curve doesn't turn off less tech savvy users.

I'm liking it. Seems chill. Some growing pains and there's not quite as much here as I was following on the other site, but, maybe that's a good thing and humans aren't actually meant to have a constant information firehose?

Looks neat, but I need a ELI5 on the instances/Fediverse/how it works in general (Looking at YT videos right now). Also I miss the "hide all child comments" I had on reddit (or was is RES?)

I don't really understand what's going on yet.

As of right now, I really like how Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse operates! Scrolling here seems to be much more lightweight on my low end computer than using Reddit.

So far, I'm loving it. I'm using Jerboa (android client for Lemmy), which is working nicely.

Lemmy is pretty good. Reminds me of old reddit. It's a little confusing at first but easy enough to learn and find communities as you go. I really miss Sync for Reddit though.

I'm leaving behind reddit after 10 years of on and off use, in the last 5 years almost constant use. I'm happy because I feel rhus platform seems really great , I really like the layout and stye of it all. I hope to understand it better going forward

It's pretty cool, Rick.
