It's gotten MUCH better! 🤞 It's showing as much relevant "for you" stuff as the old "For you" by skygaze.io used to + moderate amount of "discover" posts. I was thinking to create something like "My Cluster+/Supercluster+" that will give similar wider reach experience and now I don't have to 😊.

yeah, the goal is to create one really solid algorithm that can deliver a good experience for what people expect out of a twitter-like timeline, so we can suggest it as the default to new users before they start exploring custom feeds

Yes. A good feed like that is essential to user retention. I've seen too many people join from Xitter, then say "timeline empty and boring" and leave before I had a chance to offer them a custom feed that works and that there's actually a very lively community they might want to engage with.

Hey, just out of curiosity, is following hashtags something that you've been considering? (I think not enough people use hashtags here yet for this to be useful, but I know it's something that people used to Mastodon ask about) Also btw, are Tumblr-style external hashtags coming someday finally? :D

1. I think there’s been discussions along those lines, not seen any movement towards it though 2. Ah yeah, maybe some day idk

the mastodon way of following tags would be nice, even if it's just 1 feed made by you guys to do it, it feels streamlined & almost easier than swapping tabs (although I'm lazy)

I had this thought the other day when I was recommending someone’s set of feeds made from location based weather hashtags. (I think those feeds are solely single hashtag based.)

i remember thinking this place was dead when I joined two weeks later I saw a tip about updating the For You filter to show all replies instead of those with at least one like and it became a whole new site that initial experience is everything glad to see so much thought going into it

It's tempting to agree, but I also think we shouldn't underestimate the impact of more people not joining/leaving bsky on the future of this network and healthy decentralized social media in general.
