As much as it's true, not all company are doing this. There are plenty of good East Asian company with good work life balance, especially newer company that already recognize the issue.

Is there any application that implement them?
Misskey. It's not exactly niche, but it has a lot of cool features.
For example:
- Drive features to reuse your image or other media.
- Misskey games, so far only have Bubble Game and Go.
- Groups
- Antenna, basically subscription for any post with your set of rules.
- Playful profile decoration, similiar to Discord/Steam.
Misskey is probably the only fediverse software that actually allows admin instance to put ads.
Its flagship instance, misskey.io (which also the second/third (?) biggest instances on fediverse), use freemium scheme for running the server. They have to do this as they have 600K users, with 20K visits per day. Their paid tier upgrades are mostly adding non-essentials stuff, such as drive capacity from 5GB to 30-100GB, profile and avatar decoration (similar to Discord stuff), or more webhook. They runs community ads, from indie games, vtuber promotion, comic release, or local art event. They also have one corporate backer, Skeb.jp, which an art commissioning platform.
Not saying that all instance should do this, but it could be a great learning.
Kinda late reply, thanks for providing this cool space for us! Good luck and have a nice day!
You can consider using flagship instance as a way to fund the development. It's not like they force you to use flagship instance.
There always third-party instance or self-host as an option.
I've seen multiple fediverse project dead before arrival, as the dev working on other job(s) for living. Heck, that's also the same reason why most of fediverse project are from the West, a lot of people who lives in a country with low paygrade (including me) are not able to dedicate their time for FOSS project.
Thanks to all admin and mods for providing us this space!!!!!
Which software? Lemmy?
As I stated above: "Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character."
At least Indonesian generally does not care about matching ethnicity or race.
There are always needs for self-hosting for everything.
I can see some education institution set up their 3D model instance, and make it federated with other entities.
The problem is content discovery, right? As I said before, people are working to fix that right now.
Social web is basically similar to early internet, where discovering new things is hard.
Fediverse itself is still "early phase"
There are plenty of proposal of features social web community, handled W3C organization, such as easier way to find content (if the instance want it to be public.)
There's definitely a value of community being able toset up instance of their own 3D pirinting models.
From what I read, it was originally higher (82%), but went down because SteamOS has X11 as its default.
You can read more about KDE X11 plan on here: https://pointieststick.com/2025/06/21/about-plasmas-x11-session/
Quoted from the blog: "Current status: Plasma’s X11 session continues to be maintained.
Specifically, that means:
