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.

afaik, that's about it for the time being

I've been using it mostly so I can support the devs and submit bug/crash reports, but fall back to just the website for actual, casual browsing

There is a community for mlem over here as well: https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]

Yeah Mlem doesn’t have a search feature yet so I’m just using mobile web browser

So, it actually does (for communities at least), it just isn't evident/obvious at all yet

If you click on the 'Subscribed' or 'All Posts' text in the top middle after you login to an instance, you'll see the screen that loads now says 'Community...' in light grey at the top. Click that, it's a search box. I discovered this 100% by accident

Ah, I might have mispoken. I did realize it was kind of a search box but I've had a really hard time getting it to reload when adding a new community that isn't synced to my instance yet (so I keep switching to the browser to add communities)

Oh, interesting, yeah that makes sense. I'm not sure how robust of a search box it is (seems like it might not "force" the indexing/federation part for new instances or communities?)
