@untilted @Richard_Littler I have also been a bit frustrated with Fedi lately. Some topics just aren't discussed here and there are definitely real discoverability issues.
It seems that every time a dev makes discoverability tools, they get harassed and threatened by a group of people I call the "Fedi Mafia".
Therefore, I recently reactivated one of my corporate social media accounts and have been trying to get more people aware of Fedi.
