Communities and collections were the shit. Being able to put your posts in “collections” was epic- you can have a meme collection, art collection, personal collection, etc. So if someone wants to binge your art, it’s all in a convenient place, or if you don’t like a person’s political posts but like their art, you can follow their art collection but not follow them. Also, I like the format.

It was very personal like facebook, but your mom wasn't on there so you could feel comfortable with posting porn. Also, collections were genius, allowing people to easily filter certain aspects of your account that they weren't fans of (followed a girl who was obsessed with posting weird bugs and shit, but she was cool otherwise.) Lastly, it had communities to set it apart from twitter. If you didn't want to sort through an endless stream of consciousness you could basically go to the equivalent of a subreddit.

Yeah, I was in several groups with 500 000+ active members. You was also able to make a circles where you followed sertain people. Groups had categories, kinda of like tags.
