It seems like the whole fediverse is having a lot of the same growing pains.

Discovery is still basically an impenetrable jungle. If you already know exactly what you’re looking for it’s fine. But I basically just wander around and happen upon neat stuff every so often lol.

And sorting content is another type of discovery problem. I’m subscribed to some interesting stuff but I need to remember to actually go check them because none of it shows up in feeds.

I’m not a programmer, so I don’t know how long it takes to work out these types of issues. But I do know that I’m only still around because I’m hopeful, not because I’m actually finding it particularly useful or entertaining.

The fediverse currently feels like it might be competitive with webforums from 2010: The platform isn’t doing much to help, but it’s fine 'cause the people have spirit lol.

Oooh, I’m excited to try this out! But later, 'cause I’m just on mobile, and kbin doesn’t have a save function yet lol.

Wow, I’m pretty impressed with BC for this.

Having font support really legitimizes a language. It’s basically impossible to make digital content if you can’t type in your language, so this is really unlocking a lot for the readers and writers of all those languages!
