Mastodon needs to get shiny and pretty and intuitive. Bluesky is gonna suck eventually because it's corporate, the Fediverse will only get better.
But it needs to lose the fucking github energy.
Honestly Misskey forks for all their flaws can absolutely take this opportunity to properly advertise themselves as viable alternatives. As someone who uses a Misskey fork, I love the UI in comparison to Mastodon, and the communities in Misskey forks are a lot less techie and a lot more laid back and goofy most of the time from my personal experience.
Sadly, most of English instance use Misskey-fork, which tends to be discontinued after a while...
Not even trying to contribute back to Misskey, especially as they desperately need more English contributor.
Any misskey instance you'd recommend?
Honestly depends, but if you want an all-around good instance on a misskey fork, try lethallava.land
If it's any consolation I am seeing bridged account for Mastodon over there. I think people will get more exposure to the wider Fedverse while they're there.
