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.

Honestly it hurts my eyes. I hope someone comes up with a few more themes or CSS-appliable styles for it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think that depends on how your instance is configured. I set up my own instance and Lemmy seems to have a dark theme by default.

Try jerboa and customise it

Customize it?

Change the theme

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh I thought for a second there was a choice between green and pink. Hopefully that's changed soon.

Are you not using Dark Reader?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hell. I had it turned off because Lemmy has dark themes, but turning that back on wiped the red tint that the site's color palette uses on all the themes, that's a LOT better. Thanks for the reminder!!

Yes, it's a must on everything for me! Glad I could help!
