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.

I tested the waters at several sites:

Mastodon felt too much like Twitter my taste, too many angry people and too much politics; the UI is slick, though
Squabbles UI felt weird
Lemmy had some problematic stuff around the person who runs it, and it felt more confusing on which instance to pick
kbin has been my favorite; familiar UI, and people seem mostly friendly and chill

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

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.
