It’s Instagram with no content or algorithm. To me it’s an empty page, because I have no idea how to subscribe to things that I would like.
I tried keywords like fun, sketch, photography etc etc, but those are catch-all phrases that get too much shit, and narrow keywords are so specific, I see next to nothing.
Agreed, you could pick your own algorithm(s) to follow just like hashtags, maybe just a “follow this hashtag and similar engagement posts”. It might be an easier transition from the imposed monolithic algorithm God that meta/google impose if people are in control of how the app feeds them.
I guess looking for interesting people is not the way the fediverse is supposed to be used.
People should look for interesting content to imitate or to learn from, content coming from any user, not from users paid to do unbelievable actions or stunts

I have the same issue on Mastodon & Loops: lack of ways to find new content.
There needs to be a Lemmy thread of interesting people to follow so I can get some use out of the rest of the fediverse… Suggestions welcome!
I think there needs to be a way to plug algorithms in for those that want them.

Thats the problem that their algo tries to solve. When you do it in scale some kind of algo is needed.
Start following hashtags that match your interests.
