Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes… I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I’m missing?
I ask because I haven’t felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on… But there might be other alternatives I haven’t looked at that are worth that look.
We really need a functional app for lemmy/kbin/tildes stat. There’s lots of UI polish needed to get to the point where people can find and check their communities as easily as they’re used to.
Also, as a mod, my biggest reticence around trying to bring my communities here is the lack of any equivalent for wikis. I think in a few weeks we could be in a place where it’s a real replacement but by then the blackout may be forgotten and it might be too late.
On the other hand there will probably be a second chance when reddit kills old.reddit
