> A centralized service is still much more usable. There are some tweaks and modifications that can make the decentralized nature of these services still appear centralized. Specific to lemmy adding the ability to categorize communities and sort by said categories (ala multireddits) would go a long way. Additionally adding some type of search in the sidebar to find other like communities would help. There’s already some bookmarked etc that will modify URLs to format them to your instance correctly. I would bet this gets committed to the core UI app at some point. Making sign ups easier would go a long way too. Some of the drama with bigger instances defederating will help sort this out. I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s a proxies sign up service that will randomly put you on an instance once most of the above is sorted. Finally, being able to transfer your account will be huge. Keep in mind some of these services are brand new (ie: Kbin) And others are seeing very rapid growth that’s helping them mature quickly (ie: lemmy).
