Why of all the alternatives to reddit did the rif dev had to go with the shittyest one, i heard that the admins over there are even worse than they where back at reddit. I used riff almost since i started to interact with reddit and it was a beautifull app. Why didnt they go for a lemmy app? Why that horrible place of tildes...? I dont know but its probably safe to blame the beans.

Edit: Lots of Tildes lovers over here, arent yah? Look if you like the platform then more power to yah but my criticisms come from the moderation of that platform, its very sketchy and ban happy from what i heard, and imho a platform is limited by their moderators, and the jannies in tildes are the type that make you go "reddit moment" .

Tildes is not a Reddit alternative, it's got its own thing going. talklittle has been a member there for quite some time and so it makes sense. It's not for everyone, but I appreciate it.

I'm curious, how would you characterize it's "thing"? I poked around a little and read a few comment threads. It looks like the social media version of npr lol. Very dry, matter of fact sorta vibe. I may have just picked some bad threads too

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (12 children)

Uhh.. Sounds pretty good to me? No constant spam and repeat jokes. What are you looking for?

You're surely entitled to your opinion but I've been a Tildes user for a short while and have found the place to be lovely. Everyone seems very courteous and respectful, maybe to an extra degree. I've read some posts there that have said only a small number of people have been banned, around the order of a few every time membership opens up. You've and others on this thread have heard differently, though. This is just my one anecdotal experience.

He was already working on a Tildes app before Reddit banned 3rd party apps. I expect a Lemmy one will eventually be in the works as well

Heres hopeing

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

You hear? I've popped in and out from time to time and haven't noticed such. As it's text and discussion first, it's definitely different vibe though and probably is moderated in that direction too.

Good to hear he's still at it. Wouldn't have blamed him if he took a break from everything after the last few months.

Still not had an invite to check out Tildes so not seen it, but wish him well.

This is great! The road is finally rising with all the alternatives and as a Tildes user, i'm excited to install this, and maybe improve my engagement there.

I haven't stopped using reddit. But starting to use lemmy more on a daily basis as my page starts to show contents that I am interested in. Reddit will be also used along with it until it's demise. Not planning again to move to a centralised system for reddit like experience. Lemmy is the place I am going to settle. I will encourage people to be here. Those other places like squabbles, tildes, discuit etc can go down anytime. There will be atleast some people here in lemmy, atleast the hardcore ones who support alternatives like lemmy. Because it is not in the control of one person or centralised authority.

If people keep using it, it won't die. That's how websites that like work. Stop using reddit.

@narwal— why does Narwal still work to navigate Reddit while the other 3rd party apps don’t?

[–] Gond0r@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Narwhal is a Reddit browsing app that will adapt to the new pricing structure by making its users pay for the app. The subscription will cost between $4 and $7, its developer said.
