im just going to say, obsession with things like discoverability and growth are mistaken lessons from corporate social media. they have their place, but are not in fact all that important.
Unlimited growth is definitely not the metric federated services should lean towards, but discoverability is just basic user design concept that is mandatory for success. It doesn’t have to involve the same methods as those used by corporate social media, but there needs to be a user-friendly way for people to find each other or topics they are interested in. Going to external site is the opposite of user-friendly.
