I think there's some pretty low hanging fruit here, but most of it is platform specific.

On Mastodon, I think this looks like a revamp of the for you section. As it stands the posts are mostly human curated and the people section is mostly a static list. That is, if you've scrolled through the list once, that list will not be different next time unless you've followed a significant number of people outside of it. It would be nice if it at least showed you the next 20 or so by the same metric.

On lemmy, I think making the functionality provided by the trending communities community a first class feature would go a long way.

Unmanic to optimize your library in the background. Encoding things to x265 can buy you a huge amount of space.

Edit: Reading again i see that you're on a pi. Not at all sure what the video encoding performance is on those.

Seems to me the most likely explanation is they got caught and fixed it.

#BlackMastodon is a thing. I think there's also a guppe group?

Shouldn't we blame this on the food monopolies rather than grocery stores?

Regarding Sup: dansup has mentioned that he's put the project on hold until the new EU guidelines around interoperability (targeting whatsapp) are available.

There are a couple of prpeertube creators that make short form content

I think it's worth considering a model where one might be expected to provide hosting for their own video. Certainly not necessary now but probably will be if/when video on fedi takes off

I don't buy this narrative. TikTok is facing a ban because it's a huge loaded gun in the hand of a foreign adversary that is actively pushing the boundaries on covert cyber warfare. Remember how they forced users to call their reps before they could use the app? Imagine that capability used in tandem with a more traditional attack. And of course there's the potential for Russian style disinformation campaigns.

Either way, I find out seriously unlikely that it has anything to do with support for Palestine. Support for Palestine is actively growing on all platforms and I seriously doubt anybody has hard evidence that tiktok is pushing that forward.

This is super exciting. I think one of the things a lot of people are missing here is the potential for small wikis to augment existing fediverse communities. Reddit’s killer feature has always been the massive treasure trove of information for hobbyists and niche interests. There is huge potential in the fediverse to take advantage of that sort of natural collaborative knowledge building process.

It’s normal that there will be forks and alternatives

This is not the sentiment you have previously expressed in direct response to these forks and alternatives. Thinking specifically about your activity in the sublinks announcement posts.
