Like many of you, I was looking for Reddit alternative and have settled here and on Squabbles.io. Still not 100% on how the Fediverse and Kbin work, but I'm learning.

Beehaw is tapping into that text side of social media. Something I haven't seen much talked about is sometimes I don't want to see only pictures or video like Instagram and tiktok. Reddit facilitated conversation primarily through the comments and that's something I see replicated here and that's a great thing, think it will give it long term legs!

By the way, thanks so much. I have been wondering a little about this. I have been avoiding both lemmy.ml (since they do not seem to be accepting subscriptions) and kbin which kind of cuts down on some of the obvious choices especially with lemmy.world out for now. Still not too bad. The Fediverse is a big place. Not sure people fully grasp the options even without a few of the big instances.

No prob! I'd actually recommend making an account on one of the kbin instances if you're curious at all about it. It works a little differently and has some unique design goals which gives you a bit of a preview of how the fediverse might move forward into the future and beyond the web 2.0 that we all know. Interesting things are ahead, it seems :).
