Is anyone doing anything interesting on this platform that I can check out?

  That's a pretty wide order.

    That, from my preliminary checks when trying to buy in, is going unfulfilled. It seems like no one wants to join yet another network just to wait for it to get users. As some other people havenoted jn other discussions, Mastadon seems to be either non-English or specialized in ways that don't apply to me at all.

      I've run into this myself, so I'm working on creating an instance that's a bit more geared towards engineering / tech discussion. It's nyquist.space [1] if you're interested. It's not hosted on Mastodon but on Pleroma [2] instead so it's more barebones at the moment. (But saves a LOT on cpu/memory resources) Disclaimer: I'm the only user currently. :-) [1]: https://nyquist.space https://nyquist.space [2]: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma

  > Is anyone doing anything interesting on this platform that I can check out? Define "interesting". I'm on [octodon.social](https://octodon.social/web/accounts/13051 https://octodon.social/web/accounts/13051) and I interact with BSD users, all sorts of developers, writers, artists, musicians, video producers, podcasters, and activists. Whether you have a good experience in the Fediverse depends primarily on you and your efforts. Make an account, fill out your profile, post an introduction with the "#introduction" hashtag, and follow/interact with interesting people who show up in the local and federated timelines. As long as you're not an asshole and don't expect others to bend over backwards to make you feel welcome, you'll probably be fine.
