Most times it was a reddit clone, like voat (which was reddit, but racist) and the actual alternatives were different enough to almost be off putting (like https://hubski.com/ - no images). Source: 12 months ago

I couldn't get past sign up two times, once on answermug.com (the admins wouldn't respond when I mentioned my account wasn't approved, and asked why) and hubski.com (I can log in, but I can't post or comment and the admins still haven't responded to my emails about my problem).

I like Hubski, it's a little small and slow rn but it's nice. Source: about 1 year ago

Have you tried hubski? It looks like it could use some new members to revive the site a little. I keep thinking I should make the effort to switch, at least for a while, and start posting content over there. Source: about 3 years ago

Personally, I think shortening the name to Café would be catchy (which is way overlooked when designing social media platforms/apps), and you wouldn't even need to change the URL (it would be http://hey.cafe as in like someone saying "Hey, Café"). Source: over 1 year ago

Very sorry, at first I thought the post was about asking about other alternatives besides hey.cafe, not a promotional post specific to it. That's why I cited Koo... Source: over 1 year ago

If you have not seen it there is hey.cafe that has a kinda feed like design but longer post content with nested comment threads and is extremely fast. Source: over 1 year ago

Https://hey.cafe/ doesn't load at all, I only get a "button" of sorts saying "Creating UI Elements". Source: over 1 year ago

Spent the last few months really working on it and now https://hey.cafe finally is out with an almost entire rewrite making it way faster and more powerful with features that have been requested for the last year. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
