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.

Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? (beehaw.org)

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.

I'd like to see more color settings. The default colors do not have enough contrast and are hart to read in some cases like the blue on gray.

Have been using a Firefox extension called Stylebot to modify how my browser displays Lemmy's CSS elements to me. Bit fiddly and clumsy, but working well enough, and the first few changes were a major improvement.

Seem to recall spending as long if not longer tweaking with the appearance of old.reddit.com via RES to get it to my liking.

Hmm I will consider it. I tried some user styles I found but didn't like them as they were hastily thrown together. I have messed with CSS before.
