Really hope the Rif dev creates something for Lemmy, last I heard he was going to develop for another social network

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I was sad when I heard they were only making something for Tildes. RiF was my go-to but maybe we'll get lucky and they'll make stuff for Lemmy and Kbin too!

Funnily enough the RIF dev just released his new Tildes app a little bit earlier today, called Three Cheers for Tildes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still haven't really checked out Tildes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Tildes is alright. I feel like the discussions there are more high brow than on Lemmy, but other than that the lack of user created communities very much limits the subjects, especially niche topics.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm, I looked at the screenshots and didn't really like it. It somehow appears even more dated than RIF

RIF was dated visually, but you could spin that as being minimalist and information dense. The Three Cheers for Tildes somehow doesn't look as dense and minimalist as RIF

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's an alpha release. It's probably going to improve over time, we'll see.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I downloaded the app. Is tildes just like Lemmy and Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sort of, but the site's philosophy is rather different, shitposting and memeing is heavily discouraged and there's no user created communities for instance. You also need an invite to register an account and post, you can still lurk without one though. If you're curious you can check their docs, it explains it all in detail.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the info. I had never heard of this site before. I will keep the 'Three Cheers for Tildes' app installed on my phone and check it out.

Why do they need an invite though? And where do I get one?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do they need an invite though?

I think it's mostly to avoid trolls and keep the website manageable for now. The owner seems to want to keep a more "cozy" community.

And where do I get one?

Gotta ask someone with an invite basically. They were handing out invites on r/tildes awhile back, so it's worth checking there occasionally if you're still on Reddit.

... And I could DM you an invite if you'd like, just make sure to read the rules and behave.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks for the info! I've been lurking on tildes for the last two days through the Three Cheers app. Things seen very minimal and interesting. The app is very solid too.

I've also read their rules. They're pretty straight forward.

Can I get an invite from you to sign up? Other method seems to be to ask the site admins for an invite.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sure. DM'd you an invite, have fun!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Rif was ok, once I started using sync nothing compared. Boost and another one looked pretty good in the end but they were too similar and I already had the sync unlock so I rode that till the end. Whoever releases first will probably get my $ haha. Unfortunately making good software takes time.
