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

I run a few groups, like @fediversenews@venera.social, 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 sours 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.

It desperately needs a compact, efficient UI similar to old.reddit's design philosophy. Otherwise its not bad. The auto-refreshing front page is very frustrating to use. I want to click on an article, and between when I move the cursor and click, new articles have refreshed and the link I clicked was the wrong one

Sounds like that's being fixed soon.

I love how certain problems like this only come to light once a certain amount of activity is reached. It wasn't much of a problem before the Reddit migration when this place was a lot less active. New posts slowly dripped in... but now it's a constant flow.

I desperately want to be using more of the whitespace on either side of the comment column.

What I like about Lemmy is how it's UI and backend are completely separate. I've seen others already asking for old.reddit type of an interface, so it is just a matter of time now...
