I like this site vastly more than its closest competitor, Reddit. There’s noticeably less of a bot problem here too. You can get downvoted for saying stupid shit but you don’t get silenced or punished for it. The only problem is that this site is so small. The front page is just VetOfTheSeas and everybody else lol. There was a surge of new users back in 2023 because of the stupid API thing but nothing after that.
Unfortunately because of how federation works you don’t get a single All page that has everything already decided for you or linked to all that is out there. It sucks that it does require a bit of knowledge and effort before you start seeing things come in, and maybe one day there will be better newbie paths. It’s better than it was early on where it was total confusion on how to pick an instance or how anything even works.
What’s funny is that the best part of Reddit was always the small niche subreddits.
…you don’t have an all page?
I think they mean a reddit-style starter pack of default subs. The fediverse is either a firehose, or you have to put in the work to curate your feed.
It’s not better or worse, just a difference that takes a minute to get used to.
