How to solve our engagement problem, foster more cross-pollination?

I’ve been toying with creating a repo main for issues (no code), just to state and argue the validity of problems in the Fediverse per my recent but I believe lasting obsession with C4. I have a hard time limiting such a repo even to issues in the Fediverse as there are many problems in the world more broadly, but ActivityPub and fedi devs have very similar interests so that’s a reasonable way to scope such a thing.

This thread would fit, though I think it can be broken up into smaller problems like lack of attention, fragmentation, low signal-to-noise. Fragmentation doesn’t bother me as long as someone can assemble a sensible path through the links.

My feeling is that well-described problems attract people better in this space. We don’t exactly have funds and headhunters to rope people in and that wouldn’t make sense even if we did. I, for one, appreciate all the work you guys are doing and have done to assemble this amazing space.

tl;dr let’s focus on the problem(s) and let solutions come.
