Similar opinions as for lemmy tbh, it's basically an inferior reddit for now. Fewer active members, fewer tools, features and customization options, worse stability and performance. The idea is sound but the implementation is far from ideal, but it works well enough for now.
And before everyone goes for my jugular, yeah I know. FOSS, early development, few people working on it, new experimental tech, etc etc. That doesn't help with any of the actual issues or widespread adoption though.
Integration with mastodon is a neat idea but nobody really uses it, if it even works. Some posts are visible from there but most aren't, some communities have like a dozen people checking microblogs but most people have no idea that it exists... or it's unusable if it's a generic hashtag like gaming, full of foreign submissions because language filtering doesn't work, and breaking conversations because it can only render first-level reply.
So I dunno. I hope it takes off and gets better but it will be quite a while until that happens I think.
