Honestly, I like that it’s Reddit-like. Minus admins slapping [removed by Reddit] onto things and minus the kinds of moderators that make your comments disappear without notice.
Personally, I wish there were more people here though. Maybe it’s great if your jam is memes and politics and nothing else but I miss the discussions everywhere from Reddit. The not dead communities. Being able to visit the Harley Quinn subreddit in between seasons to still get your fix of silly memes and discussions and newcomers giving their reviews, just as a wild example. Having alternative style communities that are for more than just posting Spotify links to songs. Having more options in general so that if the one community around dealing with a thing that you’re actually interested in turns out to be not on the level, there’s another 5 at least to choose from.
Also, I liked being able to disappear into the crowd on Reddit. Here, I often feel more like deleting something I’ve posted a couple of days later because I feel like I stick out more here
Personally I’m not that interested in the technical aspects. I just want a Reddit-like platform to interact with my interests, learn from people, mingle with people from different walks of life to me and expand my mind. The federation thing is a bonus but not what I’m actually here for.
And it wasn’t just ongoing stuff but pretty much anything you could think of, including some obscure '90s series that you never even see anyone mention, there’ll be an active subreddit for that. Same goes for individual bands or artists as well.
Like, I totally get what people are saying when they say they like it smaller than Reddit here. I actually agree to an extent because even Reddit was better in a lot of ways 10 years ago when Spez wasn’t trying to be the next Zuck.
But I do still think it could do with more users than it has now for a lot of reasons. Enough users for there to be a little more variety and choice than there is right now.

Yep I love my serials so I’d love specific comms about them. People would always pick up on things I hadn’t… it’s missing here

That’s all true
Most of us do. The people who always complain about growth when we’re barely at 50k monthly active users are a vocal minority
I kinda like the attitude some instance owners have about communities- that they aren’t people’s own little fiefdoms.
