Techies who are comfortable with federation can use the menu, no? The vast, vast majority of people don't and I do believe things should be as frictionless for them as possible. Even a big fediverse server is better than yet another walled garden they can't easily migrate off of.

Boosting is retweeting. Favoriting is liking.
Initial log in in the apps should default to mastodon.social with other servers buried under a menu
Yes, that's true. I am under the impression that "the algorithm" on the popular platforms mixes in posts from people you don't follow. The only one I was somewhat familiar with was the Twitter one from when I was there.
To me, Mastodon’s biggest problem is its refusal to have an algorithm to surface popular content.
Isn't Explore - Posts on the desktop web client exactly what you're looking for? It was always there and it's where I spend most of my Mastodon time.

I like sun as much as the next person but I feel getting more daylight by changing the clocks is like going on a diet by changing the definition of a pound. Standard Time all year for me please.
I do. My coffeehouses aren't crowded yet; it's awesome.

How so? Folks who care about decentralization can use the menu, no? A common theme in the comments is that most users do not care about decentralization and don't want to have to pick a server. All that scares them away to centralized platforms like Bluesky and Threads. Even a big centralized fediverse server is better than yet another walled garden they can’t easily migrate off of.
