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 tested the waters at several sites:

    • Mastodon felt too much like Twitter my taste, too many angry people and too much politics; the UI is slick, though
    • Squabbles UI felt weird
    • Lemmy had some problematic stuff around the person who runs it, and it felt more confusing on which instance to pick
    • kbin has been my favorite; familiar UI, and people seem mostly friendly and chill
