Oh I know, and I fully agree with getting rid of that. I'm not looking for ideal, I'm just looking for SOMETHING better than "oh you aren't finding interesting content? Subscribe to hashtags that get spammed with BS by thousands of bots per day. Or search some obscure websites for 'trendy' mastodon users to follow. Or y'know what, this instance probably isn't for you, research a bunch of other instances and see if something works better."

The experience right now seems like one, to me, that a very small niche of people would enjoy. And that's fine if they want to stay that way, just wish there was something better. And I think it'll come with time.
