I'm hoping we get a Lemmy is fun app personally

Yeah i am totally fine with being showed ads or paying for an ad free option. I got YouTube red when it came out and never looked back. Plus they gave us Cobra Kai, which was amazing. I do wish they also included a "we won't sell your data" option in that premium though

I feel like any software change reddit has made is the last decade just made it a worse experience. It succeeded despite their changes, not because of them imo.

I think this can be solved by allowing linking of accounts. If I have accounts on multiple servers that sync, then you have a failsafe if one goes down. Or you could just send host your own instance and own your own data.
