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.

Jerboa is what I'm using, has a very old school android feel to it or Windows Phone

Clean and utilitarian. I hope it stays this way.

oh indeed, or at least have different UI options "legacy feel" and whatever new UI the dev comes up with :)

Is there anything even closer to rif is fun than Jerboa?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I've gotten the settings to be pretty similar to RIF which I used exclusively for the last ~10 years. The list view is crucial. Jerboa also has a feature that doesn't show you posts that you've read or voted on which is handy. Let me know if you need any help finding these settings!
