I’m curious as to you guys opinions. It could be Mastodon itself or a Mastodon client. What features would you like to see that are not currently available?

    I’d really like an algorithm (optional, of course). Getting content you want to see is really difficult. It’s hard to find people to follow, and when you do you get all of their posts in your feed, not just the ones you want to see.

    Make sure you are following hashtags if you aren’t. Follow people to get everything they post. Follow hashtags and you’ll just get interest based posts (since pretty much everyone hashtags the shit out of their posts for visibility).

      Nah, doesn’t really work for me. Most topics I want to follow, hashtags are either not used, or used too broadly so I’m not really interested in what I get, or used too often so my feed gets filled with posts and I can’t see the people I’m following.

      What I do is if I want to see somebody’s posts but I don’t want to see all of their posts, I put them into a list. Then if they boost a post I like, I check out the person’s account and either add them or don’t add them to the list. Doesn’t work too well, but it’s not awful either.

      And then I also have 1 hashtag pinned (Moshidon feature), so that I can see the posts on it without getting them in my home feed.
