Why does this whole article feel like an advertisement?

And still equally fascinated by it

This is amazing, thank you! I really appreciate the effort that the lemmy admins are making to cater to various users.

I love this idea, this would drive up engagement from power users!

Same.

I think what they’re trying to tell you is that you can have ANY playback speed instead of the 4 options given by the built in player.

The biggest issue would be data retention. Reddit serves as a real world database that stores all the historical content and search engines like google make it searchable.

We’re talking about petabytes, and lemmy hardly has a few gigabytes.

Who is going to store all this data, even in a distributed environment, the bigger instances would have to store a few hundred terrabytes (per year).

Everything else comes under “other data” lol.

They federated with others.

Yep, capitalist greed ruins everything. Which is why distributed networks run by the community are our best hope for the future.

Those fuckers would try to ruin this too, by bot attacks, by trying to cut deals with some of the admins or by running their own versions of Lemmy/Mastadon.

We as a community will have to handle whatever comes next.

I have not been on reddit for the past 3 days. I try my best to not visit the site when it comes up in search results, I either use web archive or google cached results to find what I’m looking for.

Full time lemmy user!

Both match closely with Apollo and they’re still being actively developed so give them some time to mature.

What’s different about it? I’m on mobile, can someone explain?

This means they realize that whole search is so useless that people have to rely on reddit for actually finding something useful.
