Public

I've setup quite a few fediverse platforms. The instances are small, usually me and a few other fediverse devs that use them for testing.

It's quiet. Very quiet.

I've tried pulling in data from relays. But that's like opening floodgates to who knows what type of content.

FediBuzz was nice because I could follow specific hashtags ONLY. That cut down on the noise. But that is dependent on posts using those tags.

Is there a better way to curate content? I think so.
