If you don't mind some learning curve, check out QGIS: https://qgis.org/ ...it can pull data in from many different sources and it's free :)
Teaching new users how to find, subscribe and be able to post to communities that aren't on their own instances is the biggest hurdle in the Fediverse I've come across so far. To find this community for example, all they have to do is put "!reddit@lemmy.world" in the search box while logged in on their instance and they'll find it and be able to subscribe. Also getting the idea across that they don't have to have an account on the instance where their favorite community is in order to subscribe and post there.
Aside from that, maybe a list of communities in the Fediverse that closely match popular subs on Reddit eg: /r/all, /r/worldnews, /r/videogames, etc.

We were Teksavvy subscribers for 10 years but switched to Bell Fibe last year...all Teksavvy had here was 6 Mbps DSL with a lousy 720 Kbps upload speed. Felt bad because I liked them but needed better internet for today's demands. CRTC screwed them.
EndeavourOS is an Arch based distro only a lot easier to use...pretty happy with it. I have it down to that or Debian.
It's in the help docs:
"You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?"
I never heard of spez until this debacle...now that I have a face to go with all the scummy corporate behavior, I'm absolutely out of there...I see his face every time I go there now and it skeeves me out :P
The PM2.5 layer on Windy also comes in pretty handy:
