After you block a few hundred groups of anime and nonsense it’s surprisingly enjoyable.
When you block that many groups how many new posts do you see? And how do you sort the posts?
I have only blocked a few groups but added a filter for posts containing trump or elon in the title as I get plenty of that crap from other sources.
Regarding the anime and furry posts, they come in waves so it's not constant or if I want to get a break from the yiffing I switch between sorting by Hot, Scaled and Top 6hrs.

HOW MANY MORE MOES DO WE NEED???
At least 1 more than the fucking aigen communities, I swear I have to block a new one every week.

Not who you are asking, but I block a lot of communities (almost all of them political, when I want to look at political stuff I will go to other sources.) But I also sub to a lot of communities. It is possible for me to reach the bottom of my feed, but since I mostly check it between doing other things, it takes anywhere from a few hours to most of the day. And that's with me setting it to "Top Day" as my primary filter. If I'm really bored I'll do a pass through Top Week or Top Month. If I'm STILL bored, I'll set it to Active or New Comments, but usually by then it's like, "Okay time to go do something else" and I'll try to find some other activity to do.
This is a feature, not a bug IMO.

Who is moe and why is her midriff so popular???

What if I told you at least 50% of the moe communities content are aigen 🥹

Ascending among such legends like The Picard Maneuver, SatansMaggotyCumFart and Nicole, the Fediverse Chick!

It is complicated, and I like a little barrier to entry.

Sorry about that, some people don't know ani.social exists and create comms on the wrong instances. They're supposed to show up in my local feed, but now they're in yours and you don't even appreciate them!

Just means I have blocked them! If it has ai in its name or only posts ai generated content, its gone (except fuck_ai, for obvious reasons)

IDK, lets keep going until we find out!

40k daily users, according to fediverse observer. Plenty for me. Too many, maybe. In fact, it is too many. Everyone leave!
Like 95% of that million isn't visible to us on the Threadiverse, though.

The population here is like a tiny slice of what it is on reddit, there's no one here
I know I'm 'arguing' a troll, and that the troll has been banned. Still, got to say something about this number chasing:
The population here is like a tiny slice of what it is on reddit, there’s no one here
In other words you can recognise individual posters here. And there's a sense of belonging and community you won't find in a faceless mob like Reddit. It's comfy.
And yet people keep babbling about growth, growth, growth, as if it was the ultimate goal. Is it? A larger userbase has its pros and its cons.
(I also happen to remember Reddit before it was overgrown. Spoilers, it was a thousand times better.)

Yes me too, try PeerTube it is even more complicated.

I find it is a lot easier to search through communities and instances on a desktop. Mobile is clunky even through some of the apps that have been developed are pretty good.

This is why federation is not the solution to centralized services. The solution is called decentralized, or P2P. I don’t even understand why ActivityPub got so popular, when it is one of the worst protocols in terms of communication. But whatever. I’m still here. Because it is still better than Reddit

Yet they have an email provider.
That's just laziness/willful ignorance. The fediverse is just spicy emails

Federation is decentralized. I feel like some major structural issues would exist with p2p, like would I only see posts from people actively online while I am online?
What other protocols do you think would suit the needs of a decentralized social media better?
