I don’t get why Mastodon still makes it so hard to discover interesting people.
It should have an algorithm by default (but also make it easy to customize or turn off completely), that shows you stuff you might find interesting.
This would make it so much better especially for new users.
I like Bluesky’s approach with custom algorithms (everyone can publish them, e.g. I made astrophotography and retrocomputing ones).
Please do not reply with “use hashtags”, that is completely unrelated.
