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.

My friend told me lots of redditors have migrated to Tumblr. She’s constantly on tumblr, so I tend to believe her.

Most are probably still on reddit.

This, unfortunately, is true.

I checked a single thread in /r/technology this morning from the Narwhal app and folks there are in full apathy mode. "it was never going to do anything", "It actually helped reddit by making other subs discoverable", etc.

It's frustrating to see the level of distaste I have as a 15 year user of reddit and the 3rd party apps they've supported doesn't seem to remotely be reciprocated by that crowd.

And even on the subreddit discords I'm a part of, none of them seemed to be talking about alternatives or have any enthusiasm for such discussion.

why does it seem like people are much more hesitant to migrate websites than they were in the past?

especially for a website like reddit it's not like most people use it to interact with their friends or anybody who they might deem important.

afterall reddit became popular after digg's collapse but that's not even the only example of this

Tildes.net and Kbin, bru.

Both set up on Hermit Apps too, which is working well for the most part—surprisingly well. I'm tempted to even try loading old.reddit on it, but it's the principle of the matter that stops me.

My google-fu has failed me, what is Tides?

Tildes.net: another reddit-like link aggregator site. It's currently invite only, but I can hook you up if you want one.

I'm really enjoying kbin and Lemmy. I'm really keen on giving Tildes a go but have been unable to get an invite. I've emailed the Tildes team but I'm guessing they're probably pretty busy these days!
