why are new initiatives always coming on iOS first? ... I mean, there's more android devices worldwide

Entirely agree. Firefox mobile shortcut is the best alternative out there in terms of UX

Yeah, because sponsors are confident enough to trust a youtube-based audience. Good luck for PeerTubers to get sponsorships

The main thing here is that twitter and Reddit dont pay their popular usées (massively followed accounts i mean), but YouTube does. As long as PeerTube won't have a business modèle, and they're never will because that's mot what it was created for, i dont think there will ne any migration

We need to strike back with a coup

You're right on that part. Federations works great with mastodon and its communities made of individuals directly interacting with each other's accounts.

But when it comes to interacting though communities already spread through instances, not only it makes it hard for people to follow all these duplicates, but it threatens the very principle of federation in a certain way. Because most people will eventually subscribe to the biggest community for each subject (tech, nature, photo), which often turns out to be hosted on the biggest instances...and that is centralization once again.

A solution could be for users to gather all the communities they subscribed to around topics. Then your feed would be a mix of these topics' groups and single /c. Twitter does that similarly with its List feature.
