I dunno I just think I prefer the way cohost requires you to actively engage with the site compared to shit like mastodon and twitter where it's just a constant stream of people and pages and whatever. I think it not necessarily being a "timeline" is its greatest strength, same with its opposition to things like algorithmic content sorting. while algo hell isn't a thing on mastodon, it ultimately still is a twitter 'em up
things like having comments on posts makes stuff on cohost more "cozy," for lack of a better word. it means there's a conscious choice between whether you're choosing to share something or respond to something too, which is something sites like tumblr also pretty specifically lack
I'm just seeing a lot of hubbub about whether or not cohost should or should not Show Numbers and I think pretty much everything I've seen in favour of numbers has fundamentally missed the point of the site
