What I’m looking for is lists or collections that I can create or the admin of the instance creates that combines common topics into a digest of subs. Then I just browse one digest on a topic rather than having to go through each separately.

Having Kbin and Lemmy instances use a common catalog of topic identifiers so they can be easily coalesced would be helpful, too.

If you follow their lab, wip and their weekly updates (changes), you can see things being rolled out at a snails pace that are required for a fully fledged fediverse platform.

Polling, self moderation, notifications, etc. but it’s taking a looooong time…and there’s really no incentive for their devs to invest time in it, right? Because I won’t be seeing ads if I view tumblr content from my Kbin client for example.

I’m still having a hard time understanding why meta cares either. More audience for branded / sponsored posts?
