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?

Yeah, that surprised me, actually.

I just took Mastodon for a spin only a week or so ago, and it felt much less active than most of the communities on here do. Just my anecdotal experience, though. I couldn't find more than a handful of Twitter-migrated accounts on Mastodon that I cared to follow. There just wasn't much happening on there that I'm interested in when I last checked. I'll look again.

because they nerf discoverability so hard. You wouldn't be surprised they hate Lemmy and how it crawls instances so you can actually find their communities in the search feature. They strongly hate that for some reason, somehow about it hurting minorities or some shit. That tends to be their go to if you disagree with the hivemind's stance on anything, that you must hate minorities.

Lmao, yeh it sounds exactly like what I thought it would be. Attracts a certain type of person and politics.
