       Speaking of #socialmedia, I'd love to read more about the thought that's gone into #discoverability on the #fediverse lately. #Mastodon's new Explore feature is a case in point, and I'm also thinking of the new-ish Discover feature on #Pixelfed. What are people's current thoughts on the #ethics of increasing discoverability of popular posts?

       @dragfyreI'm very sad with the choice of #Mastodon to promote specific user based on poor metrics rather than opting for user-agnostic discoverability tools: hashtags.As I mentioned several times, implementing hashtag-following so that these hastags populate the user home timeline would easily solve the "why is it so quiet" issue if new users were asked to enter keywords for their favorite topics...This would also avoid pushing influencers and trends onto the #Fediverse.
