Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? (beehaw.org)

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.

The only complaint I've had so far is the difficulty of spinning up your own instance. There isn't any up to date documentation for the process as the official documentation seems to be outdated unfortunately. Ansible doesn't seem to work as it give an error. Docker works mostly bit will not federate with other instances.

I put up a guide on my instance to help deploy with Portainer and Nginx Proxy Manager on a separate Docker. I suspect it might help you with the federation bit, as I struggled with that too.

I'll check this out thank you!

I've got it setup with docker now but yeah it's a pain. I realize it's a bunch of apps working together but a single docker container which exposes the 3 ports should be the easy way. I've messed around with compose files so I figured it out but it's a bit daunting having to sync the hjson file with the compose stuff and then having to use another reverse proxy to expose that stuff.

Ansible worked for me this weekend! Definitely a fair bit of trial and error, though, especially at this was my first docker setup.

I tried to fo the ansible route but it just kept giving me an api error. I wasn't able to figure out how to get into nginx proxy manager to add the custom location for it.
