Reading (on Threads) about why people like #bluesky over #mastodon, and most seems to boil down to usability / wrestling with servers.

Have to agree. And it's why I still think we need a good #fediverse client as an entry point.

Maybe it's devs implementing the C2S side of #ActivityPub, or a multi-protocol client, or built-in browser support for the #fediverse. Maybe we need a single entry point to the fediverse, with a smooth interface, easy setup, and a server behind the scenes.

Either way, making "decentralization" central to the user experience here is keeping a ton of people off the network.

@matt adding a single central layer for did identity could be enough

allowing people to move freely and having an easy entrance point by that single did resolver

also some servers acting only as relays could be good for feeds, the ''bring your own feeds and mods'' on bsky is cool af

@ex_06 @matt Decentralised identity is surely part of the solution.

Newcomers also need a way of priming their social graphs, e.g. from feeds on particular topics (as in Bluesky), from the local timelines of particular servers, from hashtags, etc.
