My feed is exclusively whatever has been posted in the past 6 hours. It’s enough to keep me engaged for half an hour or so, then I go about my day. It’s a pretty good sweet spot. The only thing I miss is the conversation on niche subjects, but even that allows me to return to the more old school method of finding specific sites for those niches. For example, I still keep up with what’s happening in Brony circles by visiting www.fimfiction.net and www.equestriadaily.com as there is basically zero pony content on Lemmy.

I agree with the vibe, here, I’m a R-refugee as well. I am.able to receive all of the news I was getting when I was lurking over there.

I’m starting to see mastodon pick up with more local media meaning we may get more content with less users.

Maybe we start a /c/wouldbenice for these feature requests. But more users doesn’t equal better
