@boilingsteam I think you want mastodon to work like Twitter. Even if they do share the microblogging aspect, they're extremely different and for good reasons.1) What's the issue with hashtags and local/federated timelines? Isn't that a very good method to discover new and active people? I don't want someone else to choose for me.2) Isn't that up to the instance's admin? I don't see how this is a coding issue. Many instances have more than enough informations on their /about/more page.3) I expecially left Twitter because I didn't want to be spoonfed with popular content that an AI thought I would like - but that aside, the way the federated network works makes this close to impossible; all of your data would need to travel across all the instances and somehow those instances would need to put power into understanding what you could possibly like, or something of the sort? Trust me, I understand how weird it can be at first - but give it enough time and it'll start making sense to you. And indeed, hashtags are much more useful here than on Twitter!

when it comes to linux distros I came to the realization that I would either pick Linux Mint (beginners) or OpenSUSE. Those are my two good defaults
