'Almost nothing' is not quite right. We know the fraction to 3 or 4 decimal places. 'What it is' may still be a question but we know precisely what it does

Describing the amount there is and that it exerts gravitational pull says almost nothing about it, assuming it's as complex as anything else in the universe.

We also know that, other than via gravity, if it does interact with matter or EM radiation at all it does so spectacularly weakly.
