I think the idea of a federation: websites being able to talk to each other, could be mainstream. I don’t think lemmy will be mainstream, but I do think lemmy will be able to talk to mainstream websites on the federation.
What if you could use your lemmy account to buy stuff online, book a flight, pay bills, sign up for streaming services, etc.? The federation isn’t seeing its full potential.
Lemmy and (maybe) Mastodon (I don’t know enough about it) will be the inspiration for something that goes mainstream - but I do think that they’ll be the Myspace to the next big things Facebook - Perfect for people who know how to take advantage of it and it will be a mild success because of it; but someone will come along, streamline and spruce it up and that will be the new standard

I think this is the answer.
