I made a brand new account, and on first login this is my feed.
Not sure if it’s just this instance that has this issue, but perhaps some on-boarding? Or a better default feed, that would appeal to “Average” people, and show some casual subs etc.
It would be nice to have the default feed be more diverse, or even better have a screen that says “Hey here are ~50 popular topics, click the ones you’re interested in”
User retention might not be great if the default feed is this.
