Techradar Just Shouted Out Beehaw! (www.techradar.com)

From the article:

"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it's one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you're going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.

Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you'll see the platform is committed to avoiding the "hate speech" and "disinformation" that's prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you're sure to find something of interest here."

Interesting that they mentioned Beehaw, but not Lemmy or Kbin as a whole.

I think Beehaw is a great instance who shows what the Fediverse can be and is about.

I love that they actually shout out 1 of the instances instead of Lemmy or Kbin as a whole.

but can you actually register to beehaw? Because I tried days ago, and I still can't log in.

[–] BlackCoffee@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I registered and got through yes.

I registered just before the influx of users from reddit I assume and I am gonna be honest I didn't put in a full essae.

Nobody needs to write an essay; I wrote two (maybe three?) sentences in mine. You just need to actually be interested in beehaw for what makes it different from other instances and express that. My application wasn't really any longer than this paragraph

Registration happens to be behind right now, mainly for technical reasons as alyaza mentioned, but the admin team is working diligently on it (♥)
