Indeed, we have FEPs that either directly address the UX issues mentioned in your post, or could be parts of final solutions:

The Sin of Overwhelming Complexity: Instance Selection Paralysis

- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/61cf/fep-61cf.md
- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ae97/fep-ae97.md

The Sin of Remote Interaction Purgatory: Federation Gymnastics

- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/07d7/fep-07d7.md (withdrawn; https://fedilinks.org is a similar proposal)
- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md

The Sin of DM Disasters Waiting to Happen

Some FEPs talk about limited visibility posts and private groups:

- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/171b/fep-171b.md
- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/db0e/fep-db0e.md

The Sin of Ghost Conversations and Phantom Follower Counts

Synced conversations:

- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md
- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/171b/fep-171b.md
- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/76ea/fep-76ea.md
- https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/f228/fep-f228.md

The Sin of Invisible Discovery: The Content Mirage
The Sin of User Discovery Hell

I think ActivityPub relays could be used to solve those problems:

@mayel
Your Markdown post came through really well. Is there a switch to choose between publishing all of a post, or just the headline or an excerpt?

"[...] Cause the technology is just gonna get better and better. And it’s gonna get easier and easier… and more and more convenient and more and more pleasurable… to sit alone with images on a screen… given to us by people who do not love us but want our money. And that’s fine in low doses, but if it’s the basic main staple of your diet, you’re gonna die.”
