Curious what you all thought for what things like Lemmy, Revolt, Mastodon, PeerTube, Bluesky, Flashes, etc would need to be able to grow fast and well to get many users joining up

Because it’s high time everyone drops all the way less than ideal platforms/apps/websites/news sources

I’ll add on too:

Content creators that are engaging, clear, & entertaining explaining things with great videos showing Fediverse, etc stuff will help in various ways

    More instances. Should make it super easy to roll your own. Lots of small instances just takes me back to 00s message boards, it was a good time.

    I started on here almost 2 years ago and it has grown rapidly, I’m very impressed.

    2 years ago, you could knock out all the content on here in a few minutes, now, there’s so much content and even stuff bleeding in from Mastadon at times.

    Edit: make something good and people will come, Facebook, ig, snapchat, etc started off at 0 as well.

    It all needs to get a lot less complex and confusing. I know the complexity is a byproduct of the defederated nature of the whole thing, but it’s also the primary thing limiting growth. The fediverse is never going to grow to anything other than a tiny niche if it isn’t immediately understandable to people who have 0 background in tech.
