I really hope platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon take off. Just the idea of no single person with control over how we all communicate and share ideas gives me hope for the future.
sadly, Mastodon currently still is pretty centralised around a few very big instances. I hope the Fediverse gets more decentralised…
What does it take to facilitate this? Do individuals have the ability to help it along, or does it take more resources? I'm new to this but would like to learn.
You just have to (encourage others to) register on an instance with less than, say, 1000 active users. I think that's already taking care of most of the issue.
Yes and another thing that also doesn't help is that Mastodon currently does not (yet) support migrating over previously posted content. So if you migrate from one server to another, your old profile does show "user migrated to X", but I think people are a bit afraid to leave their old posts behind.
