With previous Rexit’s like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.
What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Still needs infinite scroll.
Ugh I hate infinite scroll. If some people want it, sure, you can implement it as an opt-in feature. But a lot of people use the fediverse to avoid the typical features of corporate social media
Some mobile apps already have it and with the ruling against Meta and YouTube in the USA, I don’t know if having infinite scroll will cause legal problems in the future.
I’d also like this, but I feel you’ll get pushback against this on the Fediverse
Perhaps it’s a feature instance’s can set as default or not themselves
I think it would be nice as an opt-in feature in the user settings
I find on a system with minimal RAM that shit gets super expensive really fast.
I hate infinite scroll. That said, it’s just fancy pagination and if the host’ API supports pagination, whatever frontend should be able to implement that
In Mbin users can enable it if they want.
People actually like infinite scroll?
PieFed has that. I get to the bottom, it loads another page.
I was going to click next anyway, nice to save me the effort and if I want to stop . . . well I just stop scrolling down.
