Sbubby - Eef Freef!
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.
Rules:
- Be respectful of your fellow users. Be civil towards others, even if you disagree with them. Hate speech of any kind is not tolerated, including, but not limited to: racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia.
- All Sbubbies must be edits to the text of logos. A logo is a visually unique set of iconography that represents a specific product, organization, or group, with unique and distinctive fonts and styling. Edits which change the text of things that aren't logos (i.e. street signs, text on product packaging that doesn't edit the logo itself, BSODs, etc.) don't count, and neither do edits to logos which do not change any text.
- All Sbubbies must be cleanly edited. It must resemble the original logo as close as reasonably possible. It doesn't necessarily need to be absolutely pixel-perfect, but it should hold up to a brief visual inspection at the standard zoom level.
- Relevant titles: We will not be enforcing this to the degree that we did on the subreddit, but try to avoid low-effort, non-descriptive titles such as "My first Sbubby," "I made this," "Credit to <...>," "Found in the wild," or "Title."
- Reposts: Try not to repost images that have already been on the Sbubby Lemmy instance. We are allowing reposts from the Sbubby subreddit, but if it's not your own OC, please give credit to the original creator in either the title or a comment if at all possible. This rule will likely be relatively lightly enforced for a while, as we adjust to the new platform.
- Compilations: Any compilations of edits should have some sort of connection or central theme, and preferably your own OC, but other users' content can be included as long as all of it is credited.
- On that note, if you want to port over your content from the subreddit, you can create one big compilation if you'd like, but we recommend spacing out individual posts over time. It should help us maintain a consistent stream of content while we build our userbase. Don't spam a bunch of individual posts over a short period, though - probably no more than 3 posts per day.
- Banned topics: "Oops, all X," Bepis variants, REEEEE, loss.jpg, anything from the banned repost album, unless you were the original creator of a banned repost album image, in which case, contact us first.

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.
