Yet another reason why I chose #Raddle over #Lemmy for hosting my #Touhou forum: reliability. You can often see lemmy.world (which has the largest Touhou community AFAIK at 132 subscribers and 96 submissions, vs https://raddle.me/f/touhou at 124 subscribers and 970 submissions) and lemmy.blahaj.zone (2nd largest 2hu with similar subscriber count but way less submissions) out of service. Might be due to too many users using at once, some server crash, idk.
Whatever the reason is, the Lemmy software being so heavy has to be a factor. I mean come on, it requires JavaScript ffs.
Raddle meanwhile is so lightweight (written primarily in an appropriate language like PHP like a sane web-facing service would, and DOESN'T require JS), and server reboots (and I only witnessed one in my entire 5 years on that site) take only seconds. Postmill is a champ!

Okey dokey. So, I'm looking at viable #RedditAlternatives to replace what #Reddit was providing for me* & I'm currently at the initial information overload stage.
My current understanding is that Lemmy is associated with tankies & best avoided, but it's also the most developed option presently.
Kbin seems to me to be more of an upcoming star, but still lacks important features & an app.
https://tildes.net/ is a nice, serious-discussion, invite-only #Reddit -like community I've been on for awhile, that has recently been experiencing a surge in popularity (no idea why ... /s).
I have invites, if anyone is interested. But you better behave, or it's both our asses.
What are your opinions on the other Reddit alternatives like Squabbles.io, Raddle, Tildes, etc?
So obviously a lot of us are partial to kbin/Lemmy but have any of you explored the other alternatives like Raddle, Squabbles.io, and Tildes?...
Squabbles is now Squabblr
Just an FYI about another Reddit alternative. New URL, too. I think they decided to change the name to avoid a copyright issue.
