Sometimes. Like anything else, if you're posting stuff in a popular genre you get lots of random favs and likes. But it's really good for hooking up with other people who have obscure interests, and fanning each other all over the place. There are a couple of startlingly active groups dedicated to fanworking the creations of Michael Moorcock, which makes me go squee. Okay, I co-founded one of the groups, but it actually got people and they post stuff to it.
