Discoverability in this context meaning the ability to more effectively find public communities/people of interest. Alongside improving this however, respecting people’s decisions on whether and how they may be found, if at all.

    I’ve been finding discoverability pretty good on Lemmy, but maybe that’s in part because the server I picked grew to be the largest not long after. Mastodon and the various microblog workalikes seem to have bigger problems there.

    • Backfill statuses when loading profiles from remote servers (Mastodon and workalikes)
    • Full text search, on by default, without a heavyweight dependency (Mastodon-specific)
    • Relay replies to all participants in a conversation (Mastodon)
    • An optional recommended feed with an algorithm (I know that’s a bad word!) based on favorites and boosts by people who often favorite/boost the same things you do
