Where else on the web does everyone hang out? (normalcity.life)

I’m really curious where else everyone here hangs out on the internet besides Lemmy.

I myself am frequently on discord with my wife and friends playing games. I’ve also found myself in and around smaller blogs spaces like Kev Quirk and related people. Reddit used to be a place for me to hang out but I never found a community that I felt connected to. I don’t know if YouTube would be considered a place to hang out, but I frequently spend way more time there than I should. IRC used to be a great place for me.

So, where are your favorite places?

Would you be willing to invite me to Tildes? I'd like to join.

I haven't had any invites to give out, I would otherwise!

From what I've read they're given out randomly to Tildes users but I'm guessing there might be an upvote/comment/post threshold that has to be reached first to be eligible, and it's unlikely I've come close to that yet.

I got invited by someone on Kbin tho, so keep asking in threads like these and hopefully you'll get one soon!

Got it. I'll keep asking around. Thanks!

Every time a site update/announcement/whatever happens everyone with an account older than like a week (iirc?) gets topped up to 5-10 invites. You can (could?) also just go to r/tildes or email and ask. They use invites more as a way to slow registrations down than to be an exclusive club so it's really not that hard to get your hands on one.

OK, thanks for the tip. I'll try sending an email.

Where are the invites kept for tildes users to give out? Like how do I find them on the site?

[–] ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

https://tildes.net/invite should let you generate some

[–] OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I had no idea.

Do you still need an invite?
(Also is there any way to DM across instances? Not sure how to send you the link ontherwise)

[–] zzzz@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would love one! I emailed the site admin as instructed in the announcement blog post, but haven't heard back yet. Let me try to DM you (my app shows me the option, although I'm not sure whether or not it'll work...). I'm going to send it right away, so if you see this reply but no DM, it'll mean the DM didn't work.

Let me know if it works! I'll send you another if someone's used it before you got to it.

Got it! Thanks a lot!
