Mastodon and Firefish have been good alternatives for me, not to mention, they’re part of the same fediverse as KBin

Libreddit does work, but not all instances of it do.

beehaw - tight-knit diverse, lgbtq and positivity reddit

Out of the open platforms, I use:
Reddit: Lemmy, Beehaw, Kbin
Twitter: Mastodon, Calckey
Facebook: idk nothing really plus I don’t even use Facebook that much anymore

I may occasionally use proprietary ones like Twitter, Tumblr and Threads.

On the other hand, it makes spammy articles from content farms the primary resource to find answers.
And either way, not everybody is doing this, so Reddit retains part of its usability, which still exists, and some portion of people will still use Reddit after the API changes.

It’s a terrible decision, but I think they just couldn’t keep the servers up for the average user because of the “optimizations”. People look for news on Telegram anyway nowadays.

Just shows how there is no “correct” side in this story. Awkward being a terrible power-hungry mod on one hand, and Spez deciding to prioritize on profit over community and usability on the other.

Native apps? Because I sure hope so.

The advantage Beehaw has is the way the communities are organized - so much neater than in other instances. Every community on there is a giant hub, making these communities more visible and active than what we see on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, and to some extent kbin.

Like this one I’m on right now.
(Tbh, I’m surprised how much kbin and lemmy are compatible with one another despite using different codebases)

This would make sense… if Beehaw wasn’t invite-only.
