From the Dilla community

“Moved to Dilla last year and the local filter was the only thing that got me actual replies in Dilla. Free messaging meant I could be picky without it costing anything.”

— Aubrey Morgan, RuneDate member

“Took me a fortnight in Dilla to work out that my photos were the problem rather than the app. Swapped two of them and my Dilla reply rate doubled.”

— Eli, RuneDate member
