I did too but it hasn't really clicked with me the way Lemmy has. I spent a little time in there, and its super slick, love the UI, seems to have a lot of active content coming up, but it also seemed pretty heavy on memes. I'll still check it out some more though. I like trying new stuff
It's super pretty and easy to use compared to kbin/lemmy and I think that alone is going to get it a lot of traffic. Which is great, anything to make it easier for users to leave reddit.
Unfortunately it's pretty much only cat posts and calls to make sure nobody that's not part of the reddit hivemind is allowed to exist there.
Yesh... I haven't dug in a lot tbf, but the default front page at least was a looot of low effort shitposts. To be fair, I did dip in on the day they first got inline pic previews, and everyone was clearly giddy about it.
I want to go back and sub to all my active interests, maybe block a few of the more active cat pic-style communities, and see if I can curate something more personal to my own use. Oh, they have hace a great mobile app too, I think called pulse?
I was trying out squabbles too. It says it wants to be a mix between twitter and Reddit but it feels much more twitter than Reddit to me.
I never liked Twitter one bit.
