What’s the sense on mastodon lately? I feel like the core concept is also its Achilles heel in that with all these disjointed communities it’s really not a community at all.
I don't notice "disjointed communities" I just look at the posts from people I follow without knowing which server they are on. I'm aware you can see a list of posts on your local server but I imagine people on most instances (unless the instance has a strong theme like for people from a particular location) never use it.

It's not very community-like out of the box, that's totally true.
OTOH, after you follow both people and hashtags, it feels pretty much like everything else, more or less.
It's the only social media I still use.
