RIF has been my app of choice for 10 years. I hope that the developers jump on over and create a Lemmy version. Until then I am using Jerboa and it is working well enough. Death to Reddit, Long Live the Fediverse!
Tildes is really a great place. But it being invite only was probably the worst thing for it if it wanted growth. People couldn’t get on Tildes so they came to places like Lemmy or Kbin or one of the others.
Tildes was actively not looking for exponential growth, and the drop in quality that sometimes accompanies it. It is not a Reddit alternative for most folks, who use it for cat pics, star wars memes, and outrage porn. It is for a niche of users who prefer slightly longer form, quality content, and knee jerk reactions and comments aren’t as valued over there. I like it, but both Lemmy and Tildes complement each other well rather than being directly against each other. Worst case, one can always browse Tildes without logging in. I don’t know why people rush to make accounts immediately, without waiting to get a vibe of the space.

I want LIF. Lemmy is fun.
Reddit is dead, Long live the Fediphiles!
I vote we do NOT use that term.
Too close to Pediphiles if you ask me.
Those who like bikes?
Looks like RIF is going to Tildes
