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?

This. Video games too. And porn for that matter. We're overall a little weak on the trifecta of primary internet subject matter.

At least we're solid on owls though, my enduring admiration to our dedicated owl posters.

Unironically this. We need cute animals. Cats, owls, moths, capibaras, pangolins. If we're not gonna have one of the two "true movers" of the internet (porn and correcting people who are wrong) we need something good to compensate.

Lemmy has pretty active communities for both bunnies and foxes.

There are a lot of owls. But also cat, dogs, etc - https://piefed.social/topic/wholesome

Every time I think about starting a community about one of my hobbies, I look at a random modlog and realize I don't want any part of it.

The trick is starting a community, but delegating moderation to someone else. Admin ≠ Mod.

I've genuinely been thinking about starting nsfw fandom (anime/games) communities centered around more female or queer orientated audiences but I don't know if I'll want to deal with moderation and having to keep it active...

Edit: I also wish we had more silly mini comms of things. I have a family member who finds a new cat sub like every week, but we don't really have that here.

There's some anime titties but not enough to go around.
