    A fair number of people seem to be spilling out into Lemmy, kbin, squabbles and other places. Be keen to see how the growth accelerates over the next few weeks as people weigh up their options.

      I think once some nice 3rd party apps get rolling we’ll see a lot more adoption as well

      Problem with squabbles is that it has sole ownership. Can literally turn into reddit or Digg again.

      Good to know there are a bunch of alternatives though.

        Yeah a few friends have spread out, reach looking into new replacements. Kbin got my attention since it’s open source and PHP based, so it’s something I can jump right into and fix up issues. Lots of people working on fixing up several parts of the site to make it even better

      This feels like a good landing site.

      It’'s taking me a while to learn navigation and buttons etc - no disrespect to developers, that’s just me.

        It’s a whole new system so it’s going to take a while to get used to it. There’s several things behind the scenes getting improved, lots of new UI improvements pending
