That’s the main reason why I’m half and half on mastodon (besides the terrible user search and onboarding). I believe the way hashtags are implemented in microblogging services is so inorganic, and I prefer having a little help finding cool posts and people through some kinda filter. Bluesky has been a better experience in those aspects for me so far.
Comment on Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way
Domille@sh.itjust.works 10 months agojust follow hashtags you like, that way you’ll see people who post about interesting stuff.

They do have a “for you” on the Mastodon app where they recommend people you might like BUT it’s hard to find and they don’t have the option to follow general hashtags like, “sportsnews” or something like that. Tusky is FOSS and does have the general hashtag follow but no “for you” section. Early stages and all.

Same as really old old Twitter.
