I run nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi and I don’t use the other apps, just the file stuff. It seems like the best supported option to me.

It was good of you for trying. I did almost the same thing, except once I had an account on my little server, I started finding interesting people right away on the explore tab of the app. I followed them, and followed the people they boosted, and generally had a great experience. It sounds like it just isn’t for everyone and that’s ok. It will just keep growing slowly on its own.
