Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes... I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

I ask because I haven't felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on... But there might be other alternatives I haven't looked at that are worth that look.

I'm really enjoying kbin and Lemmy. I'm really keen on giving Tildes a go but have been unable to get an invite. I've emailed the Tildes team but I'm guessing they're probably pretty busy these days!

Most are probably still on reddit.

This, unfortunately, is true.

I checked a single thread in /r/technology this morning from the Narwhal app and folks there are in full apathy mode. "it was never going to do anything", "It actually helped reddit by making other subs discoverable", etc.

It's frustrating to see the level of distaste I have as a 15 year user of reddit and the 3rd party apps they've supported doesn't seem to remotely be reciprocated by that crowd.

And even on the subreddit discords I'm a part of, none of them seemed to be talking about alternatives or have any enthusiasm for such discussion.

why does it seem like people are much more hesitant to migrate websites than they were in the past?

especially for a website like reddit it's not like most people use it to interact with their friends or anybody who they might deem important.

afterall reddit became popular after digg's collapse but that's not even the only example of this

It won't happen over night. As the quality of reddit declines, more people will give Kbin and Lemmy a shot.
A lot of power users are leaving reddit and that's where the quality was.

I mean reddit quality was already in freefall outside of smallish subs. It's gonna get worse quickly if those people actually leave.
