I joined today! I tried to post some images, but could only have one image per post. Then someone was rude, and I wasn't able to downvote him. I keep refreshing the front page, but nothing happens since there's no algorithm, the latest posts just stay there.
I think I'll stick around here in parallel to Reddit. Maybe some day I'll understand how instances and all of that works.
Sorry you ran into those issues and the rude person.
I think new accounts have some restrictions for the first 3(?) days. My understanding is that this was implemented to try to counter an annoying person who keeps making accounts doing shitty things and then deleting that account and making a new one.
I'm pretty sure there's a way to add multiple images to a post, but I've never done it.
For the new content, you may want to try switching your view to "New" or if it's your first time looking at piefed during the day "Top (x)" [x being how long since you last opened at Piefed]. Those methods usually bring me a bunch of new content.
Hope your experience gets better :)
Edit: It didn't occur to me earlier, but are you on "Subscribed" feed or "All" feed? If you aren't on all, I would suggest switching to that until you have enough subscribed communities.
It takes little time until you have subscribed too enough communities so that your home feed feels natural. I use the "Hot" sorting in home, but there are some people who prefer "Scaled", which is hot but favors smaller communities, so that you don't only have memes and shit posts in there.
For the All feed I Dan really recommend "Top of 6 hours". But, yeah, the Threadiverse is not big enough to spend here hours a day, I usually come here twice a day. What I really like is that you have much more user engagement, where on Reddit your comment usually disappears in the void. Welcome and have fun here, hope you'll stay a little longer ;)
I spend 3-4 hours on the Threadiverse daily. I'd say it depends on how you use it, how you curated your subscriptions and what you're interested in.
It's definitely possible to spend a lot of time here. But to be fair, I'm bilingual and there's a lot of content in German in addition to English content.
