Exactly what the title says.

What has your experience been on any of those platforms? Which captures more of your time? Why?

I’m relatively new here but I’ve read a little on the reddit-like platforms. I (mostly) understand what’s a fork of what or what some of the technical differences are, but I’m curious about the vibes and communities.

    Beehaw‘s active users nosedived after they defederated and never really recovered. There’s less than 500 total users now. But they’re all very active.

      I’m still getting activities from Beehaw on my instance, and seemingly I can still interact with them too.

      Did they stop accepting new instances or something? Because it definitely still works fine for me.

        I do, too. But they did defederate from a bunch of instances, including IIRC lemm.ml and lemmy.world, among others (I’m on lemm.ee, so I’m still federated with them).

        But they didn’t upgrade past 0.18.5, don’t plan to, and are looking to migrate to another platform… eventually. I haven’t kept up on the latest over there.

        Best of luck to them. They seem nice.

      Hmm wonder why people would quit a circlejerk platform that bans people who call out when someone posts literal fascist propaganda.
