Hey Sam, lots of people here but it feels a little different then x. I recommend looking through follow lists from people you trust and also hashtags like #plebchain #grownostr.

since there is no default algo finding content requires following more people and engaging more than x so sometimes it feels like a little more work... however in return, this community offers more genuine engagement than I've seen anywhere else.

A couple paid relays doesn't hurt either. You can see which one anyone else uses on a lot of clients.

Hope that helps!
