I would like to travel about a minute back in time so I could undo reading this!

This is the first web app that I have used which installs, updates, and works like it does. I literally had no idea that something so streamlined and efficient could be done in such a way. Hats off to the developer, I’ll gladly buy wefwef if he ever makes it available on the App/Playstore.
I have always been open to trying new technologies, so fediverse and by extension Lemmy / Kbin, made sense to me as a suitable alternative to Reddit with huge potential.
My fears are mostly centered around people rallying to competing platforms - squabbles / 4chan etc. and as a result diluting the knowledge in utility based spaces (read: sub-reddits) like /r/programming, /r/chess etc.
I am glad that platforms such as Reddit / Twitter continue to alienate their user base, which is pushing the people off these platforms.
I am also surprised at the speed with which developers have pushed apps for Lemmy / Squabbles, which would also increase adoption.
I am browsing with wefwef.app and it has honestly made it all so integrated and smooth that I don’t think in a couple of months there would be any reason to go back to Reddit.
For phones, merely a user replaceable battery would be so much of an improvement.
