There’s nothing inherently bad about sugar. It’s just energy. If you intake more energy than you burn it’s getting stored for future use (you get fat). The same goes for almost anything “unhealthy”. Manage your energy intake and almost nothing is unhealthy.

I’ve just got the Tornado V3 Pioneer, and I’m loving it. Just using that cube cut off some time in itself. Have you started doing F2L and cross directly in bottom yet? I averaged 55ish with 2-look OLL and PLL with F2L and cross in bottom. It takes a long time to get really fast with F2L so that’s a ongoing thing I’m trying to optimize.
I picked up cubing half a year ago as a middle aged dad. I set myself a goal of being able to solve it in under 30 seconds. I’m averaging around 40s now so I’m slowly getting there. It’s a fun little hobby and I always carry my cube around with me and practice as often as I can. I just finished learning all 21 PLL algorithms and I’m quite proud of myself 😄
I miss the option to not hide read posts when viewing communities, but only in the aggregated feed. Also showing usernames in compact view in the feed would be nice. I'd like to be able to recognize spammers quickly so I can block them.
I actually thought of it more as a purely visual combine. So each post still lives in its own instance, and visually you just see them together. Comment threads would live on different instances and the instance mods just mods the community that they own. So it’s a purely Frontend thing.
I think "World News" and "Technology" are not quite similar communities. It's up to the mods of each community to decide whether the content posted is appropriate to that community. One could argue, that an article about Threads is not exactly "World News" though. Also I think that the different variants of e.g. Technology will have a "flavor" of the instance that it's hosted on. You then get the option to subscribe only to the flavors you like, or if you subscribe to all, then there's bound to be some duplicates. Maybe some future feature could combine them - it would need to be clear which comment threads are from which instance though.
Okay, at least there's a way to bring them back. It would be awesome if we had the option to not hide in the community feed.
This is one of the features I miss most from Apollo. Including the long press to jump back. And the haptic feedback.
I have a few communities that I lurk in as well and I use a clean RSS feed app to subscribe to sub’s old.reddit RSS feed.
I use the app NetNewsWire on iOS which is free and clean. If you then want to follow technology subreddit you add the feed https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/.rss into the app.
Hope that helps some fellow lurkers out there.
