      Talklittle themself has said that it’s actually because they were already working on a tildes app before the reddit API changed. Tildes was different enough from reddit that they felt comfortable investing the time. Then 3rd party apps got booted and everyone started moving over, and at that point it was easier to keep working on the same tildes app than to start anything new.

        They are on the fediverse as well, so hopefully with time they may decide to make something for Lemmy as well

      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?

        Well I bet he has his reasons.

        EDIT: Nevermind I got a repose with the context about his reasonings:
