One of the posts I saw in my timeline recently about the whole thing was pointing out that whatever is going to be proposed as a Discord alternative should focus on the UX, not on the kind of features that us nerds love, such as federation (or even security).
I'll add to that this kind of seamless joining UX *is* something whose absence will reduce community participation.
And while we're at it, I'll repeat something I've already mentioned: we need something like for the #Fediverse too.

One of the frustrating aspects of the #Fediverse remains the web-based cross-instance interaction. If I follow a link to a post anywhere on the Fediverse, and I want to interact with it in any way, the “flow” is still too cumbersome, especially when I want to interact with multiple different posts from the same instance. The effort that has gone into #Mastodon to improve the UX from this side *has* improved the situation since 2022 (when I joined), but even on Mastodon it's still suboptimal.
