@hansw Agreed, 100%. Glad you came.

We used to have a great Local feed when I joined here in November, then in December. But later it died out, and new user types came around, Twitter exiles who talked only to their existing twitter friends who had also moved here.

Result, it became dismal. As recently as a month ago it was BAD here. I was dismayed.

But we have managed to turn things around, and that is a major improvement. If I had joined Mastodon and gone into mastodon.social, as most did when I came (coincidentally, at the time of the Indian Diaspora from Twitter), I wouldn't have stayed for 3 days, for sure. It's just crazy there.
