I expect another migration from reddit to lemmy. I'm not saying we are going to explode, but expect some new people in the next few weeks.

Using an app means more bloat, more ads, more notifications, more forced engagement and more tracking. Since the site very clearly works through a mobile browser there is no technical reason for doing this. It is about forcing people to doom scroll this shit rather than check in from time to time.
