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?

      1. it’s not a waitlist, simply invite only. If you can find someone who browses tildes they can give you an invite with no issue. But a semi-common way to “go around” that is messaging the admin, who ofc has infinite invitess, has a business address, and probably has dozens of requests coming in to read.

      2. it’s quite the opposite here. The lack of free account creation is to purposefully limit growrth. Tildes doesn’t want to be a dumping ground for reddit refugees everytime a drama explodes.
