It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

It takes very little effort to open and run a community here, be the change you want to see. :)

I disagree. It's easy if you want to use a community as your personal blog without any interaction from others. It's hard to get an actual community running.

People are more likely to participate if you are. :) But if the space exists, natural discovery can happen too. You do not have to do much more than open the conversation.
