    Could this relate to discovery

    Yes it could. Finding communities, especially small ones can be a pain. Couple that with a small community being on a small instance and it is virtually unfindable. In addition to that, if the community has never federated with your instance you likely will not see older posts, making it look empty.

    I think the technology is somewhat sound. I believe what we need is loads of good, original content, active discussions and nice people and a good atmosphere.

    Advanced mod and spam mitigation tools for community moderators. The ability to force users to only post discussion posts, or link posts. Ability to block certain urls from being posted. Ability to stop certain keywords in post title or body. Ability to cooldown between posts, making it so specific users may only post X times over a period.

    Easier discovery of communities beyond tech and politics.

    IMO the issue isn't finding those communities, it's having the pop up in your feeds. Which is why I think the ability to create multiple feeds is a feature we should have. Instead of having just "all" and "subscribed" we should be able to create our own groupings of communities. For example you create one feed called "memes" and then for that feed you subscribe to the meme communities and then you create movies/shows feed subscribe to the movie or TV show communities you care about.

    In a similar vein you can create "communities I want to grow" feed where you collect all the low activity communities you'd partake in if they showed up in your feeds.

    You can make feeds on Piefed. Go to Explore, and you'll see Feeds sections.

    I guess that technically works, but IMO feeds are kinda clunky to use because you can't just add a community to the feed, you have to go edit the feed and link the community there. And I don't know if other apps support feeds but on Voyager I can't see feeds. I'll give feeds a go but I think it could be improved, especially how to add communities to the feeds you create.
