I got an invite code and so spent a bit of time browsing around because I’d heard good things about it. But I was surprised at how basic and non-diverse it all is. The forums are preset and are very generic. The conversations are definitely better than Reddit, but no better or worse than the ones I’ve had with people on Fedi.

Kbin is definitely my new home but I do like checking out the other options - I’d just heard really good things about Tildes and it definitely didn’t match up with what I was playing about with today. Anyone else had a go at it? What’s your take?

    Tildes simply doesn’t have the goals of “reddit alternatives” that are hoping to launch a new, popular site. It’s just doing its own thing. Personally I find it refreshing, but it’s definitely not for people who want to be part of the next “reddit” with millions of other people.

    Sure, I definitely respect that and it is one of the things I like about it. I like the way it’s focused on conversations over cut n paste memes.

    But I think I’ve found a similar experience here on Kbin by blocking meme heavy groups and joining more specific communities. I’m still going to check out Tildes every now and then though
