Discoverability in this context meaning the ability to more effectively find public communities/people of interest. Alongside improving this however, respecting people's decisions on whether and how they may be found, if at all.

I think perfect discoverability is a property of centralized systems and that we need to be extremely careful when working on this problem so that we don’t lose sight of why the Fediverse was created.

The Fediverse was created for connectivity and relationships that are yours not being owned by Big Social. It wasn’t created as some privacy preserving and secure platform, people on Mastodon have pushed that but the spec is not fundamentally built on those things nor have any of the founders of the fedi ever really pushed that.
