I see a lot of people saying they'd love to have that type of content here when Meta federates, and that those will be the best instances because they will have the most content, but they will still be accessible without compromising their privacy.

I truly don't get this.

I'm not here for mass-produced content, if I wanted that, I'd be in other platforms. The beauty of these communities is they are not filled with posts that are all the same, algorithms and bots. It's just a community of real people having conversations.

If you want mass-produced trendy content, please, consume it elsewhere, and when you are inevitably fed up, then come here and enjoy the slow-paced, real community.

PD: I hope this doesn't come across as wall-keeping (or however it's said lol), It's my honest opinion.

Then the platform will probably not get far as most people aren't looking for 'alternative' platforms instead want to use what is popular, If a main stream company uses the systems then it means the mass of people will be able to access it and therefor hopefully make people more aware that you don't have to use the ones from META and any other company that want to get into but if the company truly has the users intrests at heart you'd hope they'd make the platform fair and hopefully with less data collection.

Honestly, it doesn't need to. "Getting far" right now means polluting the platform with mass-produced junk content instead of genuine discussions and interactions.

The platform and its current rate of organic growth is perfect as it is.
