Meta is excited to announce the launch of a new app designed for Lemmy. As part of our ongoing commitment to interoperability and user choice, this app will bring the community-driven discussions to a wider audience with an intuitive interface, seamless integration, and innovative features.
Lemmy has been growing as a powerful alternative to centralized discussion forums, allowing users to create and moderate their own communities in a federated network. By supporting Lemmy, Meta aims to enhance the open internet while providing users with more options to connect and share ideas beyond walled gardens.
Starting today, we’re inviting passionate users to test the alpha version of our Lemmy app. Your feedback will help shape its development, ensuring it meets the needs of decentralized communities while staying true to the principles of federation and user autonomy. If you're interested in getting early access and sharing your thoughts, try it now to be part of this exciting new chapter!

I do not work for meta lol
So, the post is a joke, but web client is a real thing that I've been working on for a bit over 2 weeks now. It isn't very usable yet, but I didn't want to pass the chance to make the announcement as Meta. If you have opinions and feedback on this, I'd actually like to hear that.
The nonsense at the beginning was mostly generated with a plagiarism machine, but maybe it's okay.

Jokes aside, I'm excited to see where this project goes.
So am I. There's still a lot to figure out, both in where I want to take this, and also just learning how to build web apps in general. I'll start tinkering less and add some of the most fundamental missing features next. Will see how well my weird UX choices pay off.
Edit: "less"
