I know Kbin will grow in time but I miss how huge Reddit was.

Yeah--I constantly read about how people liked reddit back in the day, or liked digg, but don't connect it to the fact that the reason why they were better back in the day was because they were smaller and more intimate (for lack of a better word).

I'm excited for the fediverse to grow, but for me it's already reached that critical mass for it to be engaging

That intimacy was still available on Reddit, but you needed to dig into the niche subs to find it. Commenting on large subs was definitely a cup of water in the ocean feeling.

Niche sub is just another way of saying echo chamber. Reddit was shit, every part of it

Right. Those damn knitters and their echo chamber of knitting tricks.

I dare you go say an unpopular opinion in a knitting sub, lets see how good it goes for you

Post something that is clearly crochet

And wow, those doctrinaire twits on /r/fountainpens were to hard to bear. So I like Hongdian pens. Sue me!

Try telling them knitting sucks and they should be crocheting.
