@dansup another issue seems to be what might be known as "backfill" of posts on smaller servers. from pixelfed.social, a new user can see posts dating back years, but on exposur.es and others, it looks like pixelfed is a ghost town which makes pitching it nearly impossible. nobody follows someone on a whim—they follow someone because they skim their feed and find it interesting enough to want to see more, right? fixing this would go a long way in making pixelfed more appealing & usable.
