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!
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 Reddit serves as a real world database that stores all the historical content and search engines like google make it searchable.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).

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

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