To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

Compared to Reddit

too small. Most communities I’m interested in have too little activity
more wholesome. More than once I’ve been shocked at answers that were nice instead of snarky
too many UI bugs and unstable, yet somehow much less buggy and more stable than Reddit ever was
if you don’t feed the trolls, they go away quickly

Hey in the spirit of the third point, I recently learned that if you put four spaces at the end of a line, you can then do a line break and it'll treat it as a real new line, instead of just moving your second line to the end of your first.
See?
Like this.
Pretty cool stuff.

Test
New line?

Hey even better. Thanks!

Cool. It does seem like there’s functionality in whatever form of markup there is here, but I barely learned Reddit’s and here I know very little yet

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. My interests get way too little activity. Otherwise I love the platform.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Yeah, it's a little weird that even broader topics tend to struggle here (e.g. music/tv & movies/books). Not as surprising with the niche stuff, as that can be pretty quiet even on other more popular platforms.

Agreed on point 1 the answer is we all need to create more posts. We can't expect others to do it for us.
