It would highly motivate users of Fecesbook to migrate to PieFed if we could have a mixed feed of microblog posts and community content, like Fecesbook does it. That’s what its users are accustomed to, and it feels like you’re losing on something when the competitor cannot do the same.
In the end I’ve been okay with having Mastodon and PieFed separately, but it did feel a bit odd for first. And for others it is likely to be a show-stopper in the beginning. They’d probably get used to it, but once the show’s stopped, that won’t really help.
An ability to have a feed mix the two types of content would be one of the many kicks Meta needs and deserves on the balls.











Fast, not slowly. The change in attitudes has been far bigger than you imagine.
