@jwildeboer @tomalak I don't know it there really is an issue with "Federation" per se. I think it still works beautifully with email, with blogs unfortunately the linkage broke and RSS became unpopular, so these days one posts to … a third service to get attention for one's articles and musings.

Maybe just add an auto-select of an open instance based on location and popularity to join the Fediverse more easily? (Totally ignores instance's rule and theming, yepp ...)
