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.
Okay, I’ve found a really annoying problem with Lemmy. I’d heard it mentioned before, but now I understand why it’s so bad.
I click on “show context” to a reply that someone made to a post of mine. I didn’t realize it, but I was instantly in a different instance and logged out of my account. So I couldn’t respond. Clicking “back” didn’t return me to my instance or log me back in. I had to re-enter my instance all over again.
That’s HUGE. I’m sure it would drive away 4 out of 5 users. Please, someone, tell me it’s being addressed!
I haven’t noticed that behaviour at all. Are you using an app (which one?) or website (mobile, desktop? Which browser?)
Firefox on my desktop.
Just checked with older comments across channels on other instances, can’t replicate your problem anywhere. Very strange.
I just replicated the problem with Chrome.
If it helps, you’re not alone. I have the same problem and it’s super annoying.
