A discussion on why #ssb is still invisible:

Yup. What SSB needs is hype, usability (including #userops) and PR.

Also, a more official linkable gateway than random friendly user's instance on port 8807.

viewer.scuttlebot.io is official-looking but often unresponsive.

In my Copious Spare Time, I will make an OStatus/ActivityPub bridge, including general web bridge. Right after I finish my other vaporware project. Right after I learn all the OStatus ropes by digging into #pleroma.

I checked out the Pleroma repo 4 months ago. That's a start.
