Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

What do you think are the biggest upgrades (infra or usability) that could be made to the fediverse? (self.fediverse)

Like many others, I've been using Lemmy since the reddit blackout started. A few things I think would help onboard folks more easily or contribute to long term success of the platform(s) are:

  • an actual introduction to federated sites and what it means, including what happens if your home instances get blocked by ones you've subbed to (if this exists drop a link!)
  • a better scheme for allowlisting instances. I noticed the one I registered in got removed from beehaw, and as someone who considered starting my own it's not clear if that style of instance management is doomed to fail
  • more / better apps! I wonder how similar the api is to reddit and if existing apps could be ported over

Any major pain points or improvements y'all can think of to continue encouraging adoption?

your link formatting doesn't work on Kbin because Kbin uses /m/ for the separator. (communities are called magazines on Kbin)
