This federated stuff is going to remain niche unless somebody figures out a way to make it approachable.
And also make the layout attractive. I view Lemmy via a Web browser on my desktop (yeah, I know, my age is showing) and it is…I’ll be polite and call it “a work in progress”.
I don’t buy into this “there’s no such thing as bad press” thinking. Having 10-15% of the canvas devoted to “fuck spez” kind of ruins the “but look at our engagement” argument.
