Yes but how do we make it into the mainstream?
"How do we ruin what we have."
Just enjoy it.
Gatekeeping only helps keep the big tech oligarchs strong. If we want to lessen big techs influence we will need to be more welcoming here.
by making that choosing an instance is easy
i think it maybe by a automated quiz which asks you basic stuff and you get the answer
It's not like Mastodon; there aren't superior communities. Outside of hexbear or .ml, there's no meaningful difference between lemmy.social and lemmy.zip you just join one and follow what you want of all the options.
The part the general public isn't ready for is curating their own feed.
There's no AI shoving things at you so you can doomscroll. They want that.
There's also no ads paying for the servers, so we keep is small and enough of us dontate to keep it runnings.
You get a couple million twitter/reddis assholes over here burning server costs up with not donating shit; the nice, quiet, pleasant community we have goes to shit.
Don't borrow trouble.
