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.

    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 are a lot of video game communities already

    honestly too many lol, luckily PieFed has feeds to help this issue https://piefed.social/f/games

    there's even more if you include the more specialized communities https://piefed.social/f/allgames
