   @art I have noticed that I see lots of announcement posts (people posting news or some organization's announcements) and fewer conversations. Maybe that's why I'm using it less.
   
   Ultimately, it could just be that I haven't changed the people I'm connected to in several years. Maybe that group has all gone dormant but others are actively posting and interacting.

      I'm noticing this in the !Fediverse too. Partly, I blame it on my poor installation of GNUsocial, which doesn't reliably receive messages in conversations with people I'm definitely subscribed to. I think this happens mostly with people using Mastodon software. It's not helped that I can't subscribe to my own Fedgroups on http://sn.jonkman.ca/groups . Some people formerly active on GNUsocial instances have moved to Mastodon instances, and I'm no longer reliably receiving their messages. Other people have just left eg. @mk Marjolein and @ErkanYilmaz I'm subscribed to more people than ever, but I miss the old friends.

         @bobjonkman me too. I sometimes feel I'm just talking to myself.

         @bobjonkman GS definitely needs better conversation-fetching.
         
         As for receiving posts from people you subscribed to, I think @xrevan86 has a couple of bash scripts that can help re-connect you to those you've subbed to (seems to work even better than JPope's old script). I'm sure they'll need to be run frequently.
         
         @tregeagle Did you move instances? I thought I was subbed to you since a long time back, but I just checked and I was not.

            @lnxw48a1 oh hello, yes I moved when @mjd updated to this server. I'm not a very good shepherd of my microblog connections.

         @bobjonkman The conversation problem has been a thing for a while, at least for me. I wish it were easier to look at threads involving people I don't follow as I feel I'm missing out on interesting stuff.
