What are some ways you think discoverability might be improved across federated platforms? (lemm.ee)

Discoverability in this context meaning the ability to more effectively find public communities/people of interest. Alongside improving this however, respecting people's decisions on whether and how they may be found, if at all.

Yeah, I disabled the alien.top mirror bots because most of the complaints were related to "I can not reach the real user by interacting with the bot".

So the next step is to build a proper bridge, which would solve this problem. I haven't worked much on that to be honest because I am waiting on the response from NLNet to see if I can get a grant, and because I am more and more pressed to do things that can generate meaningful income.

In any case, I need to reiterate that the content mirror and the bridge is separate from the "Login via Reddit" feature. If an instance admin wants no reddit mirror bots, they just don't need to enable it.
