Like a lot of others, I've been looking at Reddit alternatives recently which is what landed me here at Lemmy.

How do you think Lemmy compares to Reddit? But also, for people who have tried other Reddit alternatives than Lemmy, how do they compare? What has been the pros and cons of each community for you?

Tildes is a non-starter because I'm not cool enough to know anyone to provide an invite.

Just email the dev and ask. That's what I did.

Same. I firmly think if Tildes had opened up more, it would have risen fast as a viable reddit alternative. That ship has likely sailed, but it's aiight cus it's still got great communities.

They didn't have any interest in becoming a Reddit alternative, at least not for the vast majority of Reddit content like memes and puppy pictures. I think the entire place is text only, which does tend to foster more thoughtful commentary.

I forgot about that. Yeah that's probably the biggest con.
