Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?
What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i've been hopeful. What do you think?

Maybe a centralized entry point run by someone else (or the Lemmy devs themselves)? It could explain concepts unique the fediverse and why picking the instance you make your account on is important. From then on, people don’t really need to worry about what instance they’re on (unless the instance they’re on goes on a defederating spree), which removes some of the complexity
There's already https://join-lemmy.org/ that could be used as that entry point but it definitely needs some improvement. https://joinmastodon.org/ is a good example I think
Mastodon’s is pretty much exactly what I was thinking of
