Developer of Reddit is Fun just released an app for Tildes.

Just FYI, Tildes is run by one (1) dude with a full time job and a family. From what I read, the guy refers to himself as the God of Tildes or something to that effect which I think tells you everything you need to know about how it's managed.

Don't expect it to ever reach the popularity or capacity of Lemmy or Reddit.

Wtf is tildes?

Cool! Don't care! Fuck Tildes. And I'm a longtime RIF user and Tildes alpha user. (And it's still in alpha, years later...) It's a weird ass place over there. Not too keen on their "private club" theme centered around the "God of Tildes" either.

I went and looked at tildes as a result of this, and it seems aggressively dead. Like, the fediverse is pretty dead and tildes makes it look positively thriving in comparison. Yeesh.

Tildes is elitist. They don't want the unwashed masses on their manicured lawn.

Sadly tildes is invite only it seems.

I've honestly never heard of Tildes til this post. As far as I can tell since there's no API he's just scraping html which is not ideal, but still it's worth checking out. I love that developers are still determined to make 3rd party apps.

I wonder why he went over that over Lemmy.

Was really keen on tildes for a moment when we were going through the exodus stage with Reddit. I wasn't keen on the closed invite system.

I get they want to keep their own community and that's fine, but it's a shame they wanted to limit their growth in a time when people were looking for alternatives

Does that website ban people for fucking cursing?

I'm a long time RIF user myself and as much as it would be great to have a Lemmy version we have so much to choose from it literally doesn't matter at all. You can tweak Connect to basically work similar to RIF if you want.

Please don't hate on the dev or Tildes itself, it serves no purpose at all and we are better than that as a community.

Thank you! RIF was my go to for years and I'm a fan.

Isn't that the place with the admin with a god complex?

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" .

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.

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

Lol invite only.

No thanks.

I'm confused about why RIF still works on Reddit. I thought Reddit killed 3rd party apps.

What app are all you former RIF users using here on Lemmy? I'm trying Connect and it's pretty good but I'm wondering if there is something better out there.
