One person's request for Fediverse applications —
Alex wants to be able to choose what the preview image is for a video, chosen from the frames in the video.
...
I can imagine editing tools (in Fediverse applications) would also be useful.
It is also common elsewhere for people to be able to use custom images for preview images.

Some people want BREAKING NEWS.

What one person wants from an alternative to a Twitter:
• choice of home-feed algorithm,
• editable posts,
• ability to moderate replies
This is an area I think we could improve on the Fediverse —
Nested Comments
This (in the attached screen-shot) is from someone on Twitter who is also on Mastodon and Bluesky.
He seems to be a fan of the nested comments UI on Bluesky.
We have some great applications on the Fediverse. They could be made even greater with this improvement.
Something Fediverse related that I am working on —
Toddlerverse
Basically, what I have been thinking about is —
What would take to make areas of the Fediverse geared towards toddlers.
(The document I am writing is still a work in progress.)
(I am a parent of young children, so I have first-hand experience with kids usage of online media, including social-media.)

"Signal was great, but I wanted something I could truly own. Enter Matrix — a protocol, not a platform. I now run my own homeserver, complete with bridges, Maubot automations, and rooms that feel more like digital living rooms than rented chat spaces."

What is involved in moving your account from one server to another seems much, much more difficult than it should be.
There are simple services that exist that — when a user fills-out & submits a <form> on the Web that simple service e-mail someone that data.
These simple services are alternatives to more complex back-end with a database.
An alternative to this alternative could be — instead of e-mailing someone the submitted data, send that data via the Fediverse using ActivityPub.
ActivityPub them. (Can “ActivityPub” be a verb‽)
Probably as a private DM.
