Like many of you, I was looking for Reddit alternative and have settled here and on Squabbles.io. Still not 100% on how the Fediverse and Kbin work, but I’m learning.
Beehaw is tapping into that text side of social media. Something I haven’t seen much talked about is sometimes I don’t want to see only pictures or video like Instagram and tiktok.

Beehaw.org/instances gives you the full list. Bear in mind Beehaw is a couple years old. Experience builds up.
The current defed of Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works is temporary, due to mod tools being inadequate to handle the Reddit overload. The admins of the three instances are on good terms, no-one is pissed at anyone else, they are all struggling to bring everything up to speed.
Newbies are freaking out, and posting wild tales of apocalyptic woe…
