I am new here as of 5 minutes, but I would agree, and add that there could be an "All" link that shows all activity even if you don't follow someone. After making an account all I saw on the home page were usernames and the option to follow, but no content.
Of course, having just joined, who am I to start criticizing.
I agree, that’s the same issue I faced after having registered today. It took me quite a while to understand that I had to click the signs to see anything.
Maybe five minutes. I first tried disabling my adblocker, then switched to desktop view, then played around with different zoom settings. Then logged out and compared the threads there with the view I had when logged in, etc 😅 Maybe a little info box for onboarding would be a good idea, too.
Our moderation system is currently.. each user has their own whitelist of users. There are no moderators or admins. Thus, it doesn't really make sense to show all content.
