It makes me a bit upset that the developer of RIF didn’t make a Lemmy alternative. They instead went to Tildes, which, when I tried to check it out was not open to public registration. IDK if that changed, but I have not even heard a single person ever mention it outside of those early days after the API changes were announced and people were looking for alternatives.
There really is no comparison, Tildes has a few hundred to thousand active people (looks like about 20 posts a day… across the entire site), and is run by a single guy with very particular ideas about what people are allowed to say and do on his site.
Lemmy meanwhile has roughly 50k users and I would guess hundreds to thousands of posts per day, even if not millions like Reddit that allows more niches to develop.
I’m on Tildes, and it’s a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.
Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It’s even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.
Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.
Tildes is currently in invite-only alpha, and you must be invited to be able to register.
I assume all the elitists complaining about the eternal september (including the 20 years olds) have sequestered themselves there which is best for everyone.

So true lol
Only a communist deals in absolutes! … wait… thats not it…
I can’t keep up with all the various instance wars/feuds but they are amusing nonetheless.
Oh ya what happened to that site?

I complain about Eternal September and I’m still here, on the cooler platform with the cooler people… 🥺
