Fast food has been all in on drive thrus since the inception of drive thrus. Most places make about half of their money that way and for some it's far more.
Love to see unique features for piefed. So many different ways to tackle "threadiverse" as a project and I think we're all better off with some experimentation
One thing that rarely gets mentioned is these jobs are still old boys clubs. If you're anything other than a traditionally presenting male, you're going to have a hard time.
Well my own usage so far consists of a mastodon list with my favorite peertube, nebula, and other video creators. Since it's chronological, it roughly serves the same purpose as the OG YouTube subscriptions page.
The creator is a nebula employee. Don't believe it's officially sanctioned, but they aren't distributing videos, just notifying of new releases. Should all be in the clear based on my limited knowledge.
I think there's some pretty low hanging fruit here, but most of it is platform specific.
On Mastodon, I think this looks like a revamp of the for you section. As it stands the posts are mostly human curated and the people section is mostly a static list. That is, if you've scrolled through the list once, that list will not be different next time unless you've followed a significant number of people outside of it. It would be nice if it at least showed you the next 20 or so by the same metric.
On lemmy, I think making the functionality provided by the trending communities community a first class feature would go a long way.
They can always claim the second even when it's the first.
