I personally also went with Lemmy first but switched to Kbin after 2 days because I preferred it’s interface (as well as the full transparency on up/downvotes).
I heard about Tildes way before all the API stuff went down (like 2021-ish) but a text only platform just never was my cup of tea, personally.
Look at the front page. You can’t even join unless you know someone, to recover your password you need to send an email, and the most upvoted post has 500 votes.
I mean, the about section has a philosophy section which likely took longer to write than was taken designing the website, and one of the top posts is about how they’re going reorganise everything into their equivalent of subreddits. What’s the point if you only have 100 users?

I have never heard of Tildes before, but checked it out now since you said it’s text only.
I actually kind of like the look of that site - would have loved to see it as a federated text-only alternative to Lemmy and kbin!
Tildes is already dead.

Reddit thinks they don’t need mods.
Tildes thinks they don’t need users.
