@Fedicate I liked the discovery features cause that's what's lacking the most on Fedi.

@BeAware Sadly a lot of people had a problem with it, happy to recreate it with changes just need to have those changes clearly laid out.

For instances there's always https://fedidb.org

@Fedicate oh well. This won't do me much use now. Hope it works out for you.

Mafia kills another one.

Meanwhile, I've created a new Threads account cause Fedi's not looking so bright anymore.

@BeAware If I do bring it back I just need to make sure the users themselves have opted into it, what is something that I need to work on due to data protection.

Fedicate originally was super rushed as took into account that I would have my eye on it 24/7 what is unlikely but also it was manually done what could take up a lot of time.

Even with the educational setting of Fedicate I still want users to be reconciled for the wonderful things they've done on the Fediverse.

@Fedicate I feel that. I just feel Fedi is wholly unusable without these discovery features and I'm having less and less of a good time here because of it.

It seems people want Fedi to stay "Linux nerds only" and that doesn't work for me.

@BeAware There are plenty of ways to discover / view content on your own instance, well I will say it's helpful find a random like on Lemmy, Mastodon or another instance and with that 'origin link' you can often past it in the search of your fediverse software to add it to your instance it is a little annoying to do but Fedicate would have never been able to solve that with my limited coding knowledge sadly.

Would be happy to know what you wish was apart of fedi and see if I can add it

@Fedicate just always trying to find more people with similar interests.

I'll have to keep an account on a major instance and just keep going there and searching.

It's a pain in the ass and why most people chose BlueSky and threads over Fediverse and why I'm reactivating those accounts as well.

You don't need another account on a main instance but yes sometimes you have to find something on a different instance but this is why you follow people and things that might boost or talk about things, The Fediverse is a garden and you are the gardener. There are weeds and sometimes you need to get a new plant from somewhere else but in the end you've made something beautiful.

But yeah discovering things needs to improve.
