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 @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 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.

It's very nice! In general it's cleaner. Community so far is much friendlier. I like that there are fewer of us so far. It's more homely?

However, joining communities is still a bit rough and difficult and a bit unreliable for me at the moment.

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

Try jerboa and customise it

One problem is there is no dark mode button in user settings. I'm sure there is something you can download and apply or something, just would like a little slider in settings before I go snowblind.

Which client are you using? With Jerboa it's under settings -> look and feel. I just set it to black and be done with it.

I'd like to be able to hide the story summaries on community pages, so you just see the topic. Reddit was super compact that way, which I really preferred. This was constantly abused too, of course...

As of right now, I really like how Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse operates! Scrolling here seems to be much more lightweight on my low end computer than using Reddit.
