    I’m on Beehaw, kbin, and Mastodon.

    Wanted to try tildes, but found it wasn’t to my liking. However out of all of them, I prefer Beehaw/Lemmy to the others, but kbin is grabbing my interest.

      Yeah; the thing I like about Lemmy is the lack of microblogging features. It keeps me sane.

    Tildes is another website trying to be the new Reddit.

    Tildes is very much not trying to be a new Reddit. And certainly not the new Reddit.

    Tildes has a clear vision for itself as a mature forum for long text-based discussions, with the trappings of a link aggregator.

    There are no image posts (although posts may link to an image), and memes and shitposting are discouraged at best. There are also no user-created communities (subreddits) at this time - although there may be in the future.

    If you enjoy old-style discussion forums, you’ll probably enjoy Tildes - but it’s certainly not trying to compete with Reddit, Lemmy, kbin, or anything else. It’s doing it’s own thing.

    I’m trying out Kbin, Sh.tjust.works, Mastodon and Beehaw. Time will tell which one becomes the front runner.

      I use Mastadon as a Twitter replacement, even though it still can see other content. I like how there’s not an apparent algorithm–it’s all chronological and feels less pandering to what it thinks I want to see.

      As for Reddit alternatives, I’m happy with Beehaw and Kbin. I hope they both stick around.
