Amazing they shutdown the general page.
Where is everyone getting content from these days. Surprisingly the assets area kind of sucks. Hoped it would have been more refreshed. With the first 10 items spanning from days to months old

Or am I using it wrong?
Any ideas if another forum is sharing content?
No, you're using it right. There really isn't much being shared anymore. If it is, it's very sparingly.
There were Discord servers that were supposed to be replacements for the general page, but they've basically become a wasteland of memes, shit posting, and unanswered requests. There's allegedly a "beyond chat" that, from what I've read here, is no better than the Discord servers.
Don't even bother with the Reddit page. It's literally nothing but a glorified Patreon ad for creators.
The only places left are the Hub and kemono.party. With Kemono, search for an artist you're interested in and hope for the best. And even then, they've adapted to remove their stuff after posting it.
In my opinion, unless you pay everyone, VaM is pretty much dead.
