Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes... I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

I ask because I haven't felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on... But there might be other alternatives I haven't looked at that are worth that look.

Not unreasonable pricing. The estimate I saw for reddit is about 30 cents a year per user is their current take. Would I have paid $5 a year for ad free access? You bet your ass I would, but it wouldn't be nearly greedy enough for Reddit.

Once I get my bearings and decide where I'm going to be hosted (bouncing between beehaw, here and Lemmy) I'll be contributing regularly. I'm happy to pay when I know It's going for something like this, not to make a creeper into a billionaire.

Hell, I paid $5 to ernest already for having me here for less than a week. Good will isn’t that hard to gain sometimes and reddit lost alllll of it.
