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?

more national instances would probably solve that, i think, so you can just go to your local one.

That's roughly how I chose my instance... I thought I'd choose an instance geographically close to me for latency reasons and such. I didn't know anything about different Lemmy instances at the time and didn't (for example) know that my instance actually hosts very few popular communities, so I'd be participating mostly in remote ones. :D

yeah but, again, it's seamless. my instance only hosts content in swedish, but that's not really a problem. sorting by scaled means i still see things that happen locally mixed in with everything else.
