this might be mitigated through more following, but the directory service for finding other users is also affected by that starvation.

i regularly search for users and check active users with more than a couple posts for any overlap with my general reading proclivities. but i find little.

i logged in to my old bookwyrm.social account yesterday and compared directory results with sfba.club. dozens of users with hundreds of posts showed up under recent users. sfba.club is lucky to show anyone with more than a couple posts, because the stats reflect only what the server sees.

and i searched for the same accounts on both servers. sfba.club would show the same account with little/no activity that bookwyrm.social showed having dozens of recent posts.

either bookwyrm needs to incorporate more features for cross server exposure, or users need to boost more, or bookwyrm small instances will continue to be very very disconnected.
