Wiki: Fediverse delightful list backlog

This topic is for keeping track of the backlog of candidates to include to the three fediverse-related delightful lists. The post directly below this one is a wiki post that anyone can update and edit. Below that, reports of what has been included in the lists can be posted.

:spiral_notepad: Note: The backlog consists of raw notes. It is possible that a backlog entry was already included, so do check that before adding to a Pull Request.
