While I appreciate the idea, that is far too complicated for the average user.

This process is indeed much clunkier than bluesky and not really accessible to a new user, but it’s a good start and perhaps some servers or 3rd party apps could streamline this eventually? Even just going account-by-account in the list a dozen times and following each one manually would fill an empty feed pretty well.

The Pixelfed developer is actively working to get a streamlined solution for Starter Packs out for all kinds of ActivityPub servers that will use existing APIs and methods that already exist within the protocol. He mentioned it should be available in beta in a day or two.

Heck yeah! This is what I love about the Fediverse, we all don’t have to wait for one team to figure it out.

Since Multi-Communities seem a ways away, Lemmy could do something similar with Community Subscription packs, where people with different niche interests could follow a number of communities related to a topic. Right now it’s not always easy to find which instance has the most active ones.

It really is great! The amount of innovation and creativity in regard to the Fediverse is amazing. Although Bluesky seems to be blowing up big right now, I’m actually hopeful that it will motivate those of us within the ActivityPub realm to create even more and it seems to already be happening.

I’d love to see an easier path of entry to Lemmy as well. “Community Packs” would be a great way to help with that!

PieFed already has categories of communities. It would be hard for Lemmy to copy the code into Rust I imagine. There is an open feature request to add API support to PieFed, at which point perhaps the same front end apps could serve both Lemmy and PieFed? I don't know which ones may have categories of communities though.
