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 just want a few Reddit-ish features:

Hiding reply chains for scrolling cleanliness in comments of a post
Hiding posts on the main page should be easy to do (buttons unclear)
Dedicated copy link button - so it's clear I'm copying the link to the page that is being spoken about in a post, rather than a link to the comments of the post itself.

(1.) should already be here, at least - on the web version it's the [-] icon next the commenter's name, and on Jerboa you just tap the top bar of the comment. Agree that there should be a way to hide posts permanently - it's kind of annoying to always scroll past the same pinned posts at the top of the "Local" view.

That is a strange place for that to be, but thank you for the tip.

I tried tapping the top area of a comment. It displays a gray bar as click feedback but doesn't seem to collapse anything. Am I just being a noob?

Edit: updating fixed it :]
