I just got access to Sync for Lemmy! Very nice. I hope the developer of rif would also make a lemmy client.

Seems like the rif dev made an app for tildes instead

[-] randint@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

Yeah I know. kinda disappointed about that.

It's one of the downsides of the reddit reckoning: there are so many different fediverse communities/sites now that existing subreddit communities have been split across different sites.

What's Tildes? Another Reddit clone?

[-] crowsby@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

It was a community built by a former Reddit backend developer, Deimos. He also built the subredditsimulator subs and automoderator, and is looking to purposefully cultivate an online community that avoids some of the common pitfalls, mainly:

Gravitating over time towards low-effort, lowest common denominator clickbait.
A culture of lawful-evil trolls who "follow the rules" but are ultimately assholes who ruin the vibe.

Personally I love what he's done with the place. It's small, but it's big enough and I find that the quality of comments is far better than what you might find in most corners of the internet. I've also got a few invites if anyone wants to check it out.

Also the Tildes app is astoundingly good for what the developer is calling an "alpha".

I see, I myself am not really against the idea of strict moderation. So many times, on many sites where I had some sort of moderation powers, I've always wanted to just fucking ban people who tip toe around breaking the rules or being assholes, but not quite breaking the barrier.

Yes, with an emphasis on no jokes or memes, serious discussion only.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

Same, just got the notification!

I'm waiting for Boost since that's what I was used to, but this looks great too :)

I'm also a former Boost user, bit this a really nice app. I may switch to Boost when it comes out, but I will admit I've grown attached to gesture controls.
