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?

I made an account on Raddle because r/egg_irl and r/ennnnbyyy moved there and I also made one on Squabbles.io because some of the subreddits I joined had an analogous one on Squabbles.io. I haven't use either enough to form a good opinion on them. Raddle seems to be predominantly political, and I'm trying to limit my exposure to politics and prevent doomscrolling.

What are your thoughts on these alternatives?

Are they federated and open source?

Idk about raddle (don't even know what it is) but the others aren't.

[-] bady@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Tildes is AGPL licensed Free Software. But yeah, the author has no plans to add federation support.

[-] Encode1307@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah I was just responding to the federation part of the question

Raddle is not federated as far as I know. It seems to be using Postmill which uses the permissive zlib License.

Raddle and Tildes are open source
