That's a classic problem most apps have.
When I sign in to Discord for instance, I don't see the content I want, even though they have millions of users. Same for Linked-in, with their millions of users. I walk right out because even in these centralized, fully controlled platform, content discovery is still impossible.
This is also why WhatsApp never took off in the US. Even though there are millions of people using it here, they are not my people.
My wife just walked off from Instagram exactly because "there is nothing there". Even though it is one of the largest platforms today.
