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.
For me, 10/10 just as good. It only needs more content.
I think it’s important to make sure your instance is federated with all the other big ones, though, since adding a new one is not user-friendly.
How do I go about getting as many communities federated as possible without having to personally subscribe to all of them? Mastodon/Pleroma had relay servers if I recall.
I see some on my communities list with no local subscribers, so I think you only have to connect the instance, not every community within it.
I’m new, though, and know nothing about relay servers.

Ah. You sound like you’ve looked at the code, can you say if there’s some sort of admin command to sync a whole instance?

Yeah, that would work. Paging @[email protected], who started this discussion and who does self-host. To save you a click, here’s the libraries you could use for that.
My understanding is as long as any user from your instance subscribed to any community from anothet instance, then it will become federated with yours
That was my understanding too.
From what it looks like to me in testing, in any given instance All is any other instance that communicates with said instance, Local is all communities within an instance, and Subscribed is just the communities within the instance you have explicitly subscribed to.
