Oh, that kind is good. Constructive feedback is very valuable. But the fediverse is full of people dropping derogatory sarcastic comments or even reacting in rage, that aren't helpful in the slightest. I should've made that clearer in my first comment.
There's no responsibility at all. There's also full freedom to complain however you wish. If you do that on someone's free work with which they try to help others, it just doesn't look very good on you. That's all.
One thing I don't get. Among the gazilion "Oh, it is sooo easy to do this better" complainers are countless developers and designers. This whole Mastodon thing is Free Software, where countless people spent some of their free time and energy to give you what there is today. Complainer devs and UX folks, are your PR's getting rejected?
That second comment by goplayoutside says it well: "Maybe the modest technical hurdles are a feature, not a bug."
I think it is a feature, and the same is true for Mastodon and the Fediverse as a whole, imho.
Pavilion had early plans to create a plugin, and applied for a NLnet grant. When that wasn't accepted they put their plans in the freezer. It is only recently, after The Muskening™ that they picked up on it again.
Indeed. "Sense of community" is an aspect where additional socio-technical support native to the Fediverse can be quite helpful. We have the basics now. There's work to add Groups support, but community is more than just groups. It has intricate and meaningful relationships between many other groups and people. Just like in real life.
Apart from that The Pavilion cooperative has announced they work on a Discourse forum plugin for the Fediverse. And also I got word from the Flarum maintainer that they have plans to add support (but there's been silence after that).
Update: Here's a thread on Flarum's ongoing work: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/31943-federation-extension
Ah, that is due to the particular app that is being used, called Bovine. @helge@mymath.rocks (also not directly browser-accessible) wrote:
🚨🚨🚨 DON'T! This suggestion leads to Spaghetti Architecture.
First, Client to Server specifies how to one client talks to one server. This change is about one Client (in a browser) talking to a lot of servers, breaking the Servers talk to Servers, a Client talks to the Server it's a client of, pattern.
Second, this change allows clients (in browsers) to circumvent blocking. If you block a server domain, you don't want the clients to fallback to getting the information directly from you.
So please, do not implement this change; and if you have this type of CORS header set, consider removing them.

Much appreciated, thank you very much. Esp. the attention to having good docs is a delight in the otherwise under-documented maze of fedi development.
I maintain some lists too, PR's welcome:
