MODERATORS
 

The landed gentry are only in charge until the king comes to town and chops off a few heads.

Just wait till the third party apps shut down tomorrow, loads of people will be rolling in here. Then when the RIF and Sync developers release their Lemmy apps (with the same names) even more people will come. If you want there to be content right now though just keep contributing to posts you see. The more content we make right now, the more likely it is for new users to stay,

I can't wait for Slide for Lemmy. Always loved that app!

But it's awesome to see so many developers already working on stuff for Lemmy. It's simply bonkers to me that reddit looked at all these people who created so much for them and basically told them to go fuck themselves.

I have accounts on a bunch of instances, just in case the traffic takes some down.

You should check out lemmy.dbzer0.com if you haven't already. It's pretty useful;)

What’s different about it? I’m on mobile, can someone explain?

It's the home of the online piracy community. Dbzer0 is the founding mod of r/piracy.

Sorry, another newbie here, what's the point of having accounts on different instances? Can't I post on any instance with the same account?

Where did you see an announcement about RIF for Lemmy? That's awesome!

[–] bobbysq@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As far as I know, talklittle is focused on making a Tildes app called Three Cheers for now, and had been working it even before the announcement from Reddit. As much as it would be nice to have a Lemmy successor to RIF, the closest we'll probably get any time soon is an app that's just inspired by the RIF design.
