The smaller community also means less content. It's less like reddit and more like a small subreddit

The smaller community also increases the signal-to-shitpost content. Once a website hits a certain size the low effort threads and posts start to gain traction and force the good people and good posts to the fringes.

Hope you are doing better, man.

Getting there. Thanks.

I've been trying to follow a lot of tags for that reason. I notice after a good 30 minutes, there's nothing else to look at.

If you click on the "People" link at the top of the page, you go to a list of the active core of the site. What I did when I started way back then was look at all the badged content and run through the comments that others felt the community as a whole needs to look at.

This is my go-to time waster. I'm here all the time even if I'm just lurking. I happen to be exceptionally active since I was suspended from work. That said I don't know why I follow anything. I'm going to see most everything anyway

I come and go on here a lot.

My m.o. if I am going to check the site daily or more is to visit global and lean on filtering to customize away spam instead of checking my feed.

If I've been/am absent I check my feed/follows.

Sometimes I want to just bomb the fuck out of Global to fix that. I figure it wouldn't be appreciated though, so I just post stuff I either A) really want to talk about myself or B) see what other people have to say on something even though I don't have anything myself to add.

That's the shit we do appreciate.

Well that, and necrocomments in old threads.
