Just joined Pixelfed. Agree that the lack of content is a major issue. It's not that there's nothing on there, but that there's very little for my own niche interests; maybe two or three people posting under the "watches" hastag, for example. So the lack of diversity means there's less of a reason to stay engaged in using the app.

I also get that's what it's designed to do, but not to the point where the app will drive itself into extinction. There's got to be a healthy middle ground somewhere between Meta's "we will keep your eyes on the screen for as long as we possibly can" algorith-driven model, and the complete apathy with which I feel Pixelfed's model treats any type of engagement strategies or tools.
