Blockheads: Is It Still Active?

[Brick900]

Barely any activity on there anymore. Likes aren't all there is to it, but just noticing there are barely any likes or comments on creations. If this website was started, say, twenty years ago, I could see it getting traction, especially at a time when specialized websites were more of a thing. To some people it seemed very promising when it was started a few years ago. Has anyone heard of this website?

Blockheads: a new place to share your MOCs | Brickset

I remember the advert for it on brickset but it didn't seem to offer anything new at the time and not as useful as rebrickable. I guess others feel the same if it hasn't taken off.

I think however with Blockheads the difference somewhat is that Rebrickable is more accommodating  for professional builders, although anyone can post on there, and usually the builds have instructions, while Blockheads is more of a MOCPages style platform, more amateur. I do recall that LEGO opened up the Insiders Community at insiderscommunity.lego.com where members of the Insiders Club could post models, but it didn't last long and shut down relatively shortly after it opened. Before that there was Rebrick, which was also similar in that regard. But now LEGO doesn't really have much of a platform to do this. A lot of people won't even need a specialized website to post builds, because they just post them on Flickr, Instagram, etc.

When it comes to similar platforms, there actually used to be Mocbuilder as well, but that is no longer up and running.
