Bluesky is invite-only and nothing like Reddit.
And while Lemmy and Kbin are mentioned quite a bit in some places, they don't seem to be well discussed yet, to say the least.
I get really annoyed about the acrid pushback because of Lemmy's creators, and I usually deflect to unaffiliated server hosts or if it's really strong, mention kbin since we all connect freely.
It's just so important to me that the migration goes to a federated platform and not another central one.
I'm looking for a more central platform myself, I don't like how federation unnecessarily complicates things and i especially don't like the drama between instances
Tildes is pretty good in that regard. Though you can't create groups (= subreddits) yourself iirc. I tried switching to there but I actuallly find Lemmy more convincing and fitting to my own use of Reddit.
Tildes is, but it doesn't sound good to me.
Tildes is mentioned often as it seems to be the most visually like Reddit on first inspection. But it really isn't.
Their philosophy is totally different than Reddit. They want text posts only with only serious, long form discussion. No lighter topics like memes, which make up a humongous portion of content on Reddit.
It's invite only. You can't just easily sign up for it. Most people aren't going to try to find someone to ask for an invite when they can just click back to Reddit.
Unfortunately the RIF is Fun dev has picked Tildes to go to, which makes for even more people talking about it. But Tildes doesn't want to be a Reddit replacement at all. It wants to be a small, insular community with only serious, long form discussion.
None—it's all very chaotic. That's the problem. I don't know how to solve this.
