I'm curious about this:
If there were more tools/resources/services available for small community servers, would you be more inclined to bring your friends/community onto the fediverse?
The classic social media problem of "everyone wants to socialize-very few want to run infrastructure"- that can lead us to the same centralization problem we see in mainstream platforms.
If there was for example a well documented open source self-hostable activitypub implementation specifically made for small communities , I think that would be great for the fediverse.
I'm working on a project I'm really excited to share soon, but I wanted to get some thoughts :D
Feel free to reply with your thoughts!

A small community focus and federation with Mastodon, and similar software, are goals that are conflicting. The conflict arises from how Mastodon et al address posts. As I put it
This is not an unsolvable hurdle. I mostly mean to say a small community focus is not something achievable through a single independent implementation. One needs to change large parts of the Fediverse for it.
