Where a "grassroots" movement indicates that the population itself is rising up towards a cause, astroturfing is faking such a level of interest and engagement in a topic/cause. Typically through things like shills on some dozens of different user accounts, bots, etc.
There aren't as many submissions or activity as there was on old Voat before the Shoah. Voat used to be even slower during the beta, if you want more content invite more red pilled people, or submit more yourself, but don't shit it up like these faggot /soc/ /int/ wannabe posters that circlejerk each other, like in Soapboxbanhammer.
