Like many of you, I was looking for Reddit alternative and have settled here and on Squabbles.io. Still not 100% on how the Fediverse and Kbin work, but I’m learning.

Beehaw is tapping into that text side of social media. Something I haven’t seen much talked about is sometimes I don’t want to see only pictures or video like Instagram and tiktok. Reddit facilitated conversation primarily through the comments and that’s something I see replicated here and that’s a great thing, think it will give it long term legs!

      Yes, but forums tend to be very niche. A single community on here could be an entire forum somewhere. I like it all in one place which is what transcends it to modern social media. Forums are social media version 0.5.

        I mean that’s a good way to explain Lemmy maybe.
