I don’t give a shit about a platform. I come from the phbb days when you sought out your communities and eventually landed with a bunch of likeminded people.

I ditched Reddit because I will not support their greedy race to the bottom. I won’t “just check the sub I’m in to occasionally” I’m done with it.

The only content I’m remotely interested in here in the fediverse is news related. And it’s boring as fuck. I didn’t go to Reddit for Reddit or news. I went there for the specific things I’m in to. Real shit, not memes.

I’m not going back there. And I can only yell at a wall here for so long.

    I’ve gotten way more response to this than anything I’ve posted in the communities I’m actually interested in.

      I don’t know if this will help you but, instances with a general theme tend to have more chatty people. Examples are programming.dev, beehaw, ttrpg and slrpnk. Try instance shopping and see what fits your style

        Thanks but not yet. General trends toward young and/or low effort. Want to chat about underground deep house, burning man, or mechanical watches?

        Yeah, neither do my friends. That’s what I’m missing (as examples). Doing my part to get us there, but it’s pretty lonely so far.

          I don’t really know how to link to communities but I found this one for watches: [email protected]

          This one has just been created for Burning Man https://kbin.social/m/BurningMan

          Underground deep house I’ve got nothing.

          I find it a lot easier to find communities on Kbin because you can search and then see how active they are
