A bit paradoxal but it looks that all central platform (twitter, reddit, facebook…) are helping the spread of Fediverse. Recently we saw the impact with Twitter on Mastodon, myself I’ve discovered Lemmy even if I wasn’t a reddit user. And before that Facebook first spread friendica and diaspora. It looks next step will be around Youtube where Google try to lock more and more its user.
Oh! And another great example of plugins vs native features (since I didn’t have enough characters):
While running an instance, foreign language content kept coming in en masse, I was like wait why- my instance is set to English. When I asked on their Matrix they were like yeah it doesn’t have language filtering capabilities. I was like ok is that a planned feature? And they said no but someone can make a plugin for it.
Meanwhile, on Masto I can go into my preferences and filter my language in two seconds lol
