You need to switch up how you view it. Go to

• Hot
• 6 hour
• Scaled
• Active

That’ll get you an hour or so depending on what instance you’re on. Your instance decides what you see on All and Hot. That’s why it is kind of important which instance you choose. If one gets too big, it controls what most people see.

According to the recent stats, there are millions of people here every day. That means you’re not seeing them.

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.)
