Out of habit, I log into reddit periodically if only to complete a conversation I was having there, but the official app is just so bad that I quickly log off.
Jerboa doesn't work with a few of the servers I use (minimum version not in place yet) but I like it better than connect. I wish connect would remember my current filter/view settings when I chose/open it.
Hoping that as more apps come online all that will work itself out though.
Content is still lacking. I hope it picks up, but I think things are perhaps too fragmented between kbin and lemmy type instances for things to fully take off. Hope I'm wrong though.
I worry about how things will look if it really does grow as a ecosystem - if various lemmy communities become the 'go to' place to be, spam and trolls will soon follow, and moderation will become a growing concern. Maybe that's the same as in reddit-land. Not sure.
This is a hugely significant week in the world of social media upheaval (Twitter with another catastrophic goal on its own net and Meta capitalizing, and Reddit completely mishandling its policy shifts). It is quite a thing to witness.
