Hello! We're the team that builds and supports Mastodon, alongside the community. Today, we wanted to share an update on our organisation. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/05/evolving-the-team/
Evolving the Team

An update on Mastodon’s core team and organisation.

Mastodon Blog
In the coming weeks, we'll be using this account to share a wider range of posts about what we're working on - events we're attending, updates from team members, and so on. You can also follow the core engineering team @MastodonEngineering and if you have an account on mastodon.social or mastodon.online (the two instances we operate) you can follow @staff
You can also expect to see us sharing more about the project outside of the Fediverse (in places like LinkedIn or YouTube) - this is so that more people can hear about a better, decentralised and more user-oriented alternative to legacy platforms.
@Mastodon but currently, mastodon is by far to complicated. How will you go on fixing the huge usability shortcomings with finding people, finding posts, following people, reposting, reacting and stuff like this.
I mean you said you will share things outside the fediverse. But people clicking on shared things there will just notice the problem right away.
@fabiscafe thanks for this feedback. We've got a new designer joining soon, we have other new team members with additional perspectives. We've also been working on the Fediscovery project https://fediscovery.org to improve some of the things you mentioned. We're moving forwards!
Fediverse Discovery Providers

A project exploring better search and discovery on the Fediverse as an optional, decentralized and pluggable service.

@Mastodon Thanks! Please let us know any progress.  
I wanted to open a usability-collection-issue on github listing all the currently known shortcommings. Do you think this is something worth doing at this point?
@fabiscafe thank you so much for wanting to help! We have a lot of open issues, suggestions and discussions (as you can probably see on GitHub) so please look to see whether anything you want to open has already been created before logging something new.
