    Content content content. Many of the times I want to talk about something a little niche but there’s no one to talk to. I have to hop back to reddit. So yeah. But it’s getting better slowly

    I know I am a hypocrite. I try to contribute comments, not at all intelligent, but still better than nothing. I am thinking about opening a community about something I like doing

      Agreed I think the apps and custom interfaces have come a long way and are already serviceable. The real piece missing are the organically grown niche communities being active and years of content backlog to build upon. Sadly this can’t easily be forced.

      I’m also missing some communities (for example active financial/stock ones), but I sadly don’t think I have the time to moderate one myself. So I’m in a similar situation as you and just try to comment a bit more than usual

    Ehhh, not as nearly as much content as reddit or Twitter, so you end up seeing the same posts over and over.

    I’m hoping to see more instances and communitues pop up. I do enjoy the sorta wild west feel it has with users from different instances hating each other

    I enjoy it. Technical growing pains aside, it actually feels like a network of communities. From another angle, I like that it feels inconsequential to block communities that I find uninteresting or too thin skinned.

    Overall, a pleasant time waster.

        Some days are slow, but thats organic and I actually prefer that more than the alternative; thoughtless, soulless reposts being cranked out by bots and upvote hoors. I legit block communities ran that way here.

          I guess enough content to where the feed is showing something new, ppl engaging. My instance has been slow. Will go hours without anything
