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?

Are you saying that Lemmy does have those algorithms? Because this shit is never boring lol so many instances I never wanted to see or know existed...

Slightly related: how many freaking instances of "yiff" shit do we need!? I couldn't believe I was STILL seeing it after I blocked like 7 separate instances lol

Lemmy ""promotes"" upvoted stuff.

Mastodon "Trending" is just stuff that wasn't talked about, suddenly being talked about. That's why constantly popular things don't appear on Trending, but things like "BigBoobFridayWhatever" (or equivalent) gets trending (people don't use the hashtag for a week, and everyone use it for that day). I see how they thought it's perfect for world-wide events, but it just end-up being a bunch of "weekly" stuff.

Furries invade every tech space because they're all programmers for some reason. Must have something to do with being bullied as a kid and/or never seeing boobs irl. I know because I like their porn but not their identity, I'd never wear a suit but a cat is fine too
