Just a week or two in and I fking love this place so much. It's like stumbling out of the noise and into the kitchen at a party, and finding your people right there all the time.

You miss the friends you left behind in the shouty room where most who talk to you are looking over your shoulder to see if there's anyone more important to latch onto, but you hope your friends will soon find the kitchen, too.

@mariafarrell I wish I could share your enthusiasm. I've just begun interacting this past week, though I've had an account since 2017. I can't figure it out, so I'm just sort of staying here in the main instance - if it even IS that - and it's dead. If I go to "Local", there's just a mishmash of every language and it's going 100mph. So far, CounterSocial is giving me the vibe that you describe, and has a far simpler learning curve. I'll keep trying, but I'm not a fan, thus far.

@Willowy It's definitely bumpier and more friction-y than the other place. I'm probably having an easier time as I had more followers/followees over there and have found or been found by some, and through posting serendipity found new people who seem great, also. I hope you find your people. x
