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.

You can always ask the owner of the instance to get your sub list directly from the database. I know I wouldn’t mind.

Adding it to your own might be cumbersome, but it’s a thing you only do once

It would be awesome, however I’m a bit skeptical on the technical possibilities around. While I think it’s definitely doable, the amount of inter-node chatter this can cause could be massive. And then at some point somebody would absolutely try to import a user who has never asked to be exported in the first place. Massive DDoS potential.

I really hate sounding like a naysayer, but I’m wouldn’t be holding my breath out for this one.
