I’d already been working on a Tildes app for a while before knowing Reddit was going to kill third-party apps. I didn’t have time to work on Lemmy and Tildes and RIF.

Since Tildes is different enough, it made sense at the time to have both a Tildes and RIF app which didn’t have too much overlap; their communities are quite different. Lemmy and RIF are more similar to each other.

Who knows; after I release my Tildes app, I could work on other apps too.

This is correct. I’m also excitedly watching Sync for Lemmy as Lemmy and Kbin are pretty neat so far and will only get better. I have been finding myself using all of the above.

Although @ljdawson and I have been vicious blood rivals in the past in the Reddit third-party Android apps sphere, we’ve been interacting more lately and see eye-to-eye on a lot of things. Great person and great developer.

Thank you for posting this here. Really heartwarming to receive so much kindness.

Let’s be optimistic for the future of Internet communities. Technology evolves and puts more power into the hands of the users. Excited to see what’s next.
