Probably because when people were suggesting Reddit alternatives a TON of people showed interest in Tildes. Then, as far as I know, it never took off because it was invite only?
We have all of the larger Android Reddit app developers making Lemmy apps already. I'm pretty happy with Lemmy.
Yeah but I mean he should at least researched how good or active Tildes was?
Or is it more active than Lemmy?
I don't know how to create apps, but IMHO that seems to involve a lot of time and research, even if you have a full baked one for other service, so I wouldn't rush launching it into a "x" (no Elon shit) alternative?
