I actually haven't used Mastodon or gotten on https://bitcoinhackers.org yet because I'm a putz. But perhaps the move is a federation rather than hardcore decentralizing if they've managed to keep the UX nice.

Agreed with not-so-great UX for decentralized networks. 
One counter example that I really enjoy is [Tusky](https://tusky.app/) Mastodon client. Imo great experience and clear features. And there's a Bitcoin community - see [folks I follow/boost](https://bitcoinhackers.org/web/accounts/165763).

It's very easy to get wrong in my experience. No great UX decentralized social media apps exist in my opinion - let alone one focused on discovery (ie ranking).
