As others have mentioned, gold finches seem to like it. I've had the occasional sparrow eat it off the tray at the base of the feeder that catches spilled seed. I think the towhees will eat it off the ground, but it's hard to tell if they're going for seed or bugs. Other frequent visitors ignore it, which include house finches, doves, and scrub jays. The bird seed cylinder on my other feeder gets 99% of the visiting bird traffic.

I have noticed that birds take a long time to figure out what a new feeder is, up to a month of it being out daily.
