I think we really do need something where people can have posts suggested to them to check out. Not necessarily an algo which decides what gets seen and what doesn't, but something that maybe pulls from certain tags you select interest in. A little thing on the homepage that shows you people you aren't following that are posting similar things to you. Even if they're posts from a week ago.
Another problem is that 7 day window. Everything that does get seen is only seen within the first 24 hours, after that the post is just thrown into the void. Nobody is going to curate, nobody is going to comment.
At the same time, when there are these niche topics with a thin audience, it's not enough for them to support each other because the big curators just stick to the big communities. And what curation guilds consider high quality definitely won't match with other topics. They're looking for a great epic adventure into the mountains. Not a drawing post that took someone four months to perfect.
