I like it as a social media and news source (maybe better than a social media tbh) but looks like I was using Reddit wrong before because I can count the times I surfed around r/all so I never was one of the more trendy guys (or what Reddit wants to be), I spent most of my time there in retro gaming communities, homelab, selfhosting, data hoarding, networking and alike, so in a nutshell more niche fields and sadly not all of those are highly active here (although the selfhost community and alike is! Who would have guessed haha).
It will take time to fill all the needs for the different users, but I really think this can evolve in a better place, and the new Meta app will bring more people to the Fediverse, for the better or the worse.
