And the best part about Lemmy/Reddit is that I can look at that low effort content if I want (it’s a fun time waster) and ignore it if I don’t (I don’t sub to any large communities).
With Tildes, there’s fewer people so I have less to choose from.
And that’s totally fine. I have both and use both on a daily basis.
I just find it strange that people shitting on Tildes despite that it’s overall a healthy and well run community. We should really be glad that other communities are coming up, they are not mutually exclusive after all.
Absolutely! I just find Lemmy is more interesting to me than Tildes. I’m glad both exist, and I’m glad RIF supports both. Maybe I’ll give it another shot at some point.
The real issue with Reddit is a lack of real competition. Ideally, there would be several similar services and people would pick and choose between them. That way, if one goes down or otherwise becomes less attractive, there’s a backup to flock to that already has the capacity to take on those new users.

Does it? Last I heard, the dev had no intention of supporting Lemmy or Kbin any time soon.
I’m talking about Tildes and Reddit, though I’m not sure if they still have an option for supporting Reddit with the increased API costs.
