Not sure I agree with all of his points, but it’s a start that we’re at least publicly acknowledging this as the end of an era (for good IMO)

Agreed, but many 3rd party Reddit apps are making Lemmy versions, so all that refinement is already done, and comes with the user base of “masses” that you’re describing.
E.g. I’m here because the Boost for Reddit app creator is going here.
There are still issues that come with the fedi model that are beyond UX a polished app can solve. Many of these will need to be solved with lemmy itself(like account migration if an instance plans to shut down). Some of them just can’t be fully transparent, like the inherent issue of having to choose a server at all. Unfortunately not all will want to give it a try because of this.
