The Fediverse is growing and we have decently successful platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon. What else would you like to see?

Any big tech platform not yet replaced or maybe something new altogether? What are we missing?

Something like a Mastodon+ where besides hosting just our microblog posts, each account would also have a modest amount of storage (maybe just 1 GB or even less) for a personal mini-website as part of our profile, where we could have other content in a more stable place for people to access-- for example essays, tutorials, reference info, fiction/poetry, pdfs for download, whatever someone might want to make available that isn't just a temporary toot that quickly scrolls away into the sunset.

The account profile would have a link that opens to a personal "home page" which is just a list of links to the various files (with room for description text for each link).

For the user there could be a settings page with a template to enter "Description: link" lines for each piece of content, and buttons to upload/manage the content files. Preferably the content pages would be in markdown format and would be rendered for the browser like the way github does with readme files. That way users wouldn't have to know how to do HTML.

This idea is because getting a domain, learning html, and creating a website is just not something most people can or want to deal with, but would still like to be able to have a place to put some of their stuff online. Another possible option might be ability to specify whether the personal mini-website is available to public, instance members, followers only, or mutuals only.

Neocities and such are still non-fediverse platforms, and the users would still have to know how to do html and set up a website.

The idea was that since Mastodon already has the ability to store your micro-blog posts, as well as images and clips (and has a media button to view the posts that contain them), that it would be convenient for users to also be able to store a few articles or documents as well.

I suppose to make it simpler, these other types of files could also just be attachments to posts the way media files are, and there could be a button to view the posts containing them as well. That would be a lot simpler to implement than my idea, but it would be harder for others to find them and for the user to organize and present them.

Windows admin content. I am unfortunately cursed with the task and I'd love to be able to keep up with the patches here instead of needing reddit.

More users.

I'd like to see better interoperability, more bridges to other platforms, and more adoption, especially from people who claim to hate X or Elon Musk so much.

Closed/private Communities akin to Discord or Whatsapp, where you could have family channels or work groups, classes and the like.

Has been possible on Friendica for 16 years now. Even more possible on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte. And all still part of the Fediverse (unless you count a Hubzilla or (streams) channel with ActivityPub off that only runs on its native protocol as not part of the Fediverse).

I want all the twitter clones to implement a better system for how they create posts on the reddit clones than use a random hashtag.

Like, even just give them a setting to enable it instead of by default.

None of them ever understand that they're spamming us, it needs fixed at a system level

I don't have anything in particular myself. I pretty much get everything I need out of a forum. I guess a good discord option. One that does all the realtime needs the way a forum works for non realtime.

This may be self serving but if someone could maybe contact Mojang and get the Minecraft instance to be an officially recognized Social Media outlet like r/Minecraft is on Reddit, that would be peachy.

Oh and a syncable mobile app
