As a new user, I’m enjoying Mastodon’s vibe so far but the one thing that is a letdown is the trending hashtags. I’ve been checking them regularly over the past couple of weeks and it seems like they’re pretty much always like this.
Even on days with big news stories, people on Mastodon are only talking about what day of the week it is like company employees on some internal message board?
Is there anything that can be done to liven them up a bit?
I generally agree with this sentiment completely, but in this case the solution is beyond what I, as a single user, can achieve.
I’m wondering whether the hashtag ranking system could be filtered and tweaked to make the topics more varied and less boring.
