This is great! The road is finally rising with all the alternatives and as a Tildes user, i'm excited to install this, and maybe improve my engagement there.

Good to hear he's still at it. Wouldn't have blamed him if he took a break from everything after the last few months.

Still not had an invite to check out Tildes so not seen it, but wish him well.

@narwal— why does Narwal still work to navigate Reddit while the other 3rd party apps don’t?

[–] Gond0r@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Narwhal is a Reddit browsing app that will adapt to the new pricing structure by making its users pay for the app. The subscription will cost between $4 and $7, its developer said.

I haven't stopped using reddit. But starting to use lemmy more on a daily basis as my page starts to show contents that I am interested in. Reddit will be also used along with it until it's demise. Not planning again to move to a centralised system for reddit like experience. Lemmy is the place I am going to settle. I will encourage people to be here. Those other places like squabbles, tildes, discuit etc can go down anytime. There will be atleast some people here in lemmy, atleast the hardcore ones who support alternatives like lemmy. Because it is not in the control of one person or centralised authority.

If people keep using it, it won't die. That's how websites that like work. Stop using reddit.

Lol invite only.

No thanks.

You don't really have much choice in the matter if you haven't been invited 😄

[–] alternativeninja@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Imagine watching reddit becoming so fucked up and going to a platform that's even more controlling and centralized 🙄

[–] 52fighters@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm confused about why RIF still works on Reddit. I thought Reddit killed 3rd party apps.

[–] reflex@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think if you are not logged in, the app scrapes Reddit instead of using API calls.

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Does it? I deleted the app on the day and figured it'd just die. Also curious.
