    I think the devs themselves have said that they don't want to get popular for the sake of popularity. So organic growth and aa healthy community is what they are going for.

    I want Lemmy.ml to keep their moderation strong like it is now and have more instances get created that can cater to a different form of moderation. That way you can have an instance with communities focused on for fun aspects and another for more political things. Right now it feels like lemmy.ml is the main flagship instance primarily and the others are kind of just there. Imo of course.

    I am fairly certain that has not been setup yet at all for Lemmy. It is something that is expected to come later. I am going entirely off memory though. I could be wrong.

    Bloom, a simple FOSS platformer with adorable graphics https://v0lttech.com/bloom.php

    ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/O1eQuRkWM8.png) Bloom was my first step away from Unity, towards Godot, and the freedom that comes with it. The game is completely open source, and all the graphics, assets, and code are original and made by myself! The main mechanic of Bloom is that when the protagonist, Oliver the Robot, gets broken, he respawns with a new robot body, as you would expect. However, he also leaves the broken body where it was destroyed, allow you to use it as an additional platform! That's not to say you can just stack robots to the finish though. Each level has a limited 'respawn power', which places a cap on how many times Oliver can spawn a new body before running out. The game in it's current state is somewhat incomplete, but still entirely playable. If there's interest in it, I'd be excited to polishing it up into a more coherent game! Of course, I'd love to hear any feedback you have!

    Neat little search engine that lets you add sites to the list of websites it crawls http://searchmysite.net/

    I like using this search engine, not because it gives a lot of results, but because it is good for finding indepent sites that are normally buried on the >1 pages of search engines.

    I don't see how that is challenging for users unless they are so lazy that they won't even change any setting on their device regardless of how annoyed they are. If the app has a directory of instances with their bios linked it can make it easier for them.

    So true. These megacorps would not be where they are if engineering people did not want to work for them. And mainly because of propaganda/ridiculous salaries.

    Go to a company that might end up like the megacorps in the future at the very least.

    As more people joined the Fediverse, more sites would grow to accommodate the new users. You can have both big and small servers that focus on certain things.

    It has not been a problem for email and it is technically decentralized. You would probably just get one company that had a larger percent of the user share. Imagine Google having a Fediverse server lol.

    To top if off, I think Fediverse related sites are too happy with the technical aspect for most regular social media users. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing. Just puts off people who would already might think getting onto regular social media is too much work.

    When I first looked at Mastodon I noped out because they had a bunch of things to choose from and made it seem hard to use with the email style links at the end.

    Soon it will only be Chrome and derivatives. Then Google will officially have control over the net. Us FOSS people will have to use Qutebrowser for everything.

    Hopefully this is just fearmongering and not soon to be reality. Although I do like Qutebrowser.
