Sbubbies are images in which the text of a logo has been cleanly edited to read something different.

We've altered our ruleset a bit from the subreddit, and these may change at short notice as we acclimate to Lemmy.

I'm pretty sure that the RIF developer is working on an app for Tildes, which is an invite-only non-profit reddit alternative.

Tildes and bluesky are missing the boat by being invite only at this time. They could have had the migration by being better developed alternatives. Instead they're losing everything to lemmy and kbin.

Yeah, I understand they would struggle to scale this suddenly for the influx. Like lemmy and kbin did, but the alternative is that they're now forgotten and missed the boat.

Tildes isn't supposed to be a reddit. It's just for small scale discussions and posts, I'm not thinking they're looking to expand.

Idk man. I got a tildes invite and I spend a ton more time on there than here, the fediverse seemed to inherit all the bad parts of reddit culture, whereas tildes uses the slow growth and strict moderation to maintain a higher standard of discussion.

Tildes literally doesn't want people to join it. I mean they physically would rather people go somewhere else (which is why they're invite-only).

They're very much against the concept of Tildes turning into Reddit and would rather have small, dedicated spaces without "fluff". Hence why they don't allow animal pictures or memes.

BlueSky I think is definitely missing the boat, but they're also a bit more like Twitter and have a bit of a frat boy culture.

Sounds pretty useless tbh. Not to shit on the developper but a lot of these spaces are basically trying to shut themselves off. Invite only will kill your site. The reason reddit got big was because it is open to anyone. It's also the reason why lemmy.world is having way more growth than pretty much any other instance.
Beehaw was easily the behemoth before they decided to defederate from lemmy.world and them being invite only is quickly turning out to hamper them. Tildes is even worse because they don't even federate
Now pretty much only technology is worth checking from beehaw if even.

Think of them more as a small Cafe rather than a middle of a city, or Times Square. They want to be small and have a close independent community. Not everyone is trying to fit the entire world into their website.

While that's great and all, the fractured fediverse will not take off if there's not a comfortable nexus for the average user. It's all about ease of access.
