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.
What kind of space is wasted? Genuinely curious. I only really use it on my iPhone. On desktop is the comments area too narrow?
Yup, on desktop, the comment area takes up a 1/3rd of the screen and there is a lot of empty space on either side. Your reply is also too…tall? There is so much space around each action button and there are buttons at the top next to your name (permalink, collapse) and also at the bottom (up vote, down vote, reply) instead of having them all in one line. Also the vote count and post time are weirdly centered in the comment rather than on an edge to create clean borders. It makes no sense!
