Sadly tildes is invite only it seems.
From what I can recall, you aren't missing much. The power hungry admins are intense there.
It looks like they have their own "vibe" and rigorously enforce it in their own community. That's fine, it's their service after all. Feels a bit strange to turn away potential new users when people are looking for viable alternatives
I don't think Tildes is turning anyone away, not sure where that narrative comes from. Anyone can request an invite from the owner themselves.They are just not looking for explosive growth like some of the other services are.
In fact I think the invite system is an effective way to keep the boys away as the free-for-all signups are easier to game.
They aren't bashful anywhere
As opposed to Lemmy where all admins are magnanimous and never start drama with each other.
But if you're trying to be a Reddit competitor getting an invite is sabotaging your mission. I've been on Reddit for 10+ years and I'm actively looking for a replacement, but I'm not going to search for someone that can send me an invite to a new social media site
ok, but Tildes isn't setting itself up as a Reddit competitor, like, its goal isn't to get people to move away from Reddit. It's just its own thing which happens to have some similarities to Reddit but with a bunch of differences too.
Sounds like the perfect recipe to become like the next Google+ though
They explicitly do not want to be a reddit competitor/replacement.
Yeah, but just asking for one is usually enough. It isn't difficult to get, just enough to totally prevent bots or massive multiple accounts.
I have 5 invites I can give out, PM me if you're interested!
I'd love an invite if you're down to give em!
I too, would appreciate an invite if you have one more available! Thank you!
I would be happy to receive an invite :)
Sorry! I only had five to give out! If it lets me have more I'll swing back and shoot one over to you!
Thank you :) How has your experience been there compared to here?
Can't seem to figure out how to PM you, so here you go, hope nobody steals it out from under you. :( This is the last one I can generate!

If you haven't received an invite to join Tildes yet, just email [email protected] and ask. I received one 2 weeks after requesting.
