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 like it! I especially like that you don't even need to make a separate account to interact with the communities on there! (I'm literally commenting from a custom fork of glitch-soc right now) That alone makes Lemmy better than any normal Forum out there.

Edit: doesn't appear that Lemmy handles content warnings in replies

You have :vim: in your user's "tags" (flair? desc? Idk). I haven't found a good vim community on Lemmy, so I'm interested if you have a recommendation.

I guess that would make "community discovery" as a particular thing I'm having some difficulty with. Getting better as I'm getting more familiar with everything, but it is a pain point

@neotecha
If I remember correctly, there's a vim community at @vim . You can also look for communities at https://beehaw.org/communities/listing_type/All/page/1 , including being able to search for them. :)

Thank you. I've found one of the communities with the search functionality.

You're awesome tho!
