Tildes was actively not looking for exponential growth, and the drop in quality that sometimes accompanies it. It is not a Reddit alternative for most folks, who use it for cat pics, star wars memes, and outrage porn. It is for a niche of users who prefer slightly longer form, quality content, and knee jerk reactions and comments aren't as valued over there. I like it, but both Lemmy and Tildes complement each other well rather than being directly against each other. Worst case, one can always browse Tildes without logging in. I don't know why people rush to make accounts immediately, without waiting to get a vibe of the space.

I've only tried Jerboa and Thunder, but Thunder's compact layout is actually like RiF. It's more like Sync than RiF though. Honestly impressed by how good it is. I tried cloning and tweaking Jerboa's UI to my liking but Thunder just werks for now.

For real? Most of the frontpage of lemmy seems to be filled with memes and news about reddit, both of which I don't care about. Of course, I had curated my reddit feed over time and seems like it will take time to do the same over here.
