TheGreenGolemSync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore
randintI just got access to Sync for Lemmy! Very nice. I hope the developer of rif would also make a lemmy client.
jplexerSeems like the rif dev made an app for tildes instead
DerpgonWhat’s Tildes?
tildes.net
Seems like good quality of discussion, but community is small.
Strange I didn’t stumble upon it until now, seems to be active since 2019.
Being invitation only probably hasn’t helped spread the word out, and when I’ve seen it brought up, the strict moderation has brought out complaints.
Not attacking the platform for those things, their house, their rules, but I could see where that keeps them more under the radar.
samus12345Yes, with an emphasis on no jokes or memes, serious discussion only.
crowsbyIt 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.
