There are certainly tech nerds, but there’s plenty of other stuff out there, particularly art and other cultural sharing. What sort of topics are you into? Mastodon greatly benefits from following hashtags, so maybe folks can recommend ones to follow for you. Also, if you happened to join an instance with only a few users, it may be missing a lot of relayed content from various other instances which can provide the appearance of boring/missing content.

As others have mentioned, between Mastodon’s hashtag following and now Threadiverse communities, that’s all I need to feel plugged into various topics I care about. I’m not sure what more a feed algorithm could do for me.

Only “mildly” infuriating??

Wow, that story really is bonkers. Gotta admire the chutzpah I guess.

Weird that they’d bother to take the time to use an accent for “Café” but then misspell Coffee! 😅

I would generally agree with you. Bring blogging back, baby! But the question of discovery is still open. I’m optimistic about the threadiverse over the long haul in this regard, but there’s a lot of work we’ll need to do to get there. Also blogging feels daunting to the less technically-inclined still. I’m not sure the traditional blog platforms out there (Wordpress.com, etc.) are quite up to the task…they typically end up catering to more of the power-user business site use cases.
