I've said it in the last post about this site, but I'll say it again here regardless.
This site makes the same mistakes as a lot of other 'alternative' social networks or systems, in that it offers nothing for people who aren't interested in talking about politics or the problems on the original site.
It's entirely a hard left wing community laser focused on discussing American politics. There's virtually no discussion of more everyday topics there (like games, TV, movies, music, sports, etc), especially not in a way that doesn't cram politics into everything.
So people who don't care about political discussions or agree with your political views won't join this. Because there's nothing there that Reddit or independent forums on their favourite subjects don't do much better.

So you could follow a developing story for multiple months or years. Have links to aggregate articles by authors, news site, area or protagonists. A simple example of use: check r/science about old health breakthrough on mice and see if it fizzled or not or how advanced the human trials are.
