a) should resolve itself overtime with both features and people
b) is something devs should be working on, or at least I heard that they are working on better cross-instance community search

The “critical mass” argument only makes sense if there’s a critical mass in the future. There might never be one. People might give up threaded-discussion platforms before this ever makes it.
