Since noone else said it so far I want to kindly push back and ask why you would want to use an app in the first place. We have gotten too used to just download an app for every single thing and granting it all the permissions in the world. Sure the Lemmy apps are going to be open-source but still, I feel like we need to push the habit to just use a browser instead of an app more.
You are absolutely right to push back on this! Back then the internet definitely felt like a slower-paced and more deliberate place—would you like me to name a few things that you would likely feel nostalgic about?
Fuck apps, anything that can be done in a browser will be done in a browser for me
Most of the time it’s just the software engineers of the company being forced to look productive so they have to move stuff around just for the sake of it so they don’t lose their job. It’s sad, even they realize that the new version is a step back, but the stakeholders can’t accept that and require something “fresh and exciting” all the time.

Okay but in all seriousness, I used to absolutely hate hearing what everyone else here is saying, that you “just have to get up and start doing it” because that never worked for me. After getting diagnosed with ADHD and settling on 40mg Lisdexamphetamine in the morning, that advice actually started working.

Yes, ten years ago when I already spoke/wrote perfect English on paper but didn’t have much experience talking to actual people (CS GO voice chat doesn’t count) I often had times where what I wrote in English would have been a perfectly reasonable way to express an emotion in German, but the other person found it odd. Of course I didn’t literally translate a German expression 1:1, that would not be the yellow of the egg (ha). Instead I struggled to for example with a general way to acknowledge the feelings of the other person, I always got confused responses since the words in isolation were grammatically correct and in German would have been empathic enough, but the, I wanna say, “social weight” of the words was actually way off. Again, I was already speaking perfect English back then, but with no real-world experience. Societal differences may have also played a role, as Germans are generally regarded to be more cold than the English or the inhabitants of the FSA (Facistic States of America) plus me having autism didn’t exactly provide for a good basis of understanding the weight or intended emotion of the words I chose back then. Now I think I have a good understanding, but I have to conciously “translate the emotion” as well as the actual language. So yeah, I completely get you.
