    RIF has been my app of choice for 10 years. I hope that the developers jump on over and create a Lemmy version. Until then I am using Jerboa and it is working well enough. Death to Reddit, Long Live the Fediverse!

      I get “server version (0.17.4) is too low” when trying to log in with Jerboa. It seems cool otherwise though. Hopefully a lemmy.world update will fix it?

        I’ve been using Connect for Lemmy and it doesn’t have that problem. Once all the servers are on newer versions Jerboa should be fine again.

        Tildes is really a great place. But it being invite only was probably the worst thing for it if it wanted growth. People couldn’t get on Tildes so they came to places like Lemmy or Kbin or one of the others.

          I think it’s also bad if you’re looking for unbiased opinion. Making it invite only might as well be a way to speedrun the creation of a filter bubble.

            I have been in for a month. I was more talking about other folks who want to get in. A single person managing the entire access manually is not a great approach.

              Damn really? I emailed him during the reddpocolypse; must’ve been lucky I guess. But yeah for sure I feel you. Also Tildes is the same as Reddit and Squabbles, centralized. I wished that RIF was coming here instead though, it was the only way for me to use reddit.

          Many social networks started as invite only precisely to make users desire it even more. It’s often used as a marketing strategy.

          That being said, even if it’s fun and great and all, I dislike this strategy so much I’m not ever joining. Lemmy being open in most meanings of the world is better.
