So what corners have redditors gathered to during the blackout? (kbin.social)

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.

There's also Tildes.net, although it's invite-only which limits things a lot right now, but I really liked the UI there.

The usage of the '~' itself annoys me more than it should with that site, haha. Both from a viewing perspective and a typing perspective.

Getting an invite for tildes is relatively easy, but if kbin can keep up with massive number of users, it will likely become much more popular.

Know any good ways to get a Tildes invite? I've been lurking there for a while but I'm keen to join properly

Same here, not sure how to get an invite.

I got one about a week ago by replying to their sticky post on their subreddit r/tildes

That got shut down pretty rapidly once the reddit blackout happened. I emailed asking for one. I read somewhere that they have a queue of something like 2,000 invite requests to work through, so it might be a while.

What makes Tildes.net different? Does it do anything differently than Reddit, or is it mostly just a clone?

I haven't browsed it for more than a few minutes nor do I have an invite so it would be nice to hear if there's anything that makes it stand out from other alternatives.
