i know people USE the "global feed" tags but does anyone actually look at them? "how else will strangers see my posts?" i dunno with normal tags that are actually relevant rather than the nothing tag that gets 500 posts per hour?
i saw this post on the cohost glohost fohost
I look at it sometimes when I'm bored but never have found something significant beyond a few posts I liked.
i read pretty much all the global feed posts i think, there really aren't very many it's like 15 minutes of reading at most in a day
I browse The Cohost Global Feed once I'm caught up on my homepage (I only follow a few people, so I get caught up quick). It's not even that active. The tag gets maybe 10 posts at the most per hour; it's about as manageable as a homepage. Though I dunno about the feeds with parentheses at the end of the tag, I don't browse those.
yeah i looked after posting and thought "oh this isn't nearly as cluttered as i expected"
personally i've bookmarked a large number of often highly-specific interests and that's turned my bookmarks tab into a pretty high-quality sort of second feed. most of the individual tags get very little activity but on the whole it forms a highly curated grab bag
My issue with regular, non "TCGF" tags is that I'm not a fandom person. The only think my bookmarked tags are is game dev stuff, and I like scrolling through those game dev tags, but when it comes to sharing/rechosting a post, I want to find really funny posts—something accessible through The Cohost Global Feed.
