But I think there's a big difference here
I tried to use mastodon but I feel that microblogging inherently require some centralization, it's impossibile to find people to follow and the feed is always a mess with bunch of stuff that doesn't interest me.
On the contrary I'm using Lemmy since a while and it works much better for content discovery, communities act as a"human algorithm" the same way they work on Reddit and it help much with the federation approach.
What I arrived to realize is that some form of social media are more adaptable to the fediverse.
For example, I hardly see any decentralized version of TikTok
Follow Tags. That way you may discover interesting people automatically.
100%, following tags is really the only way to generate content. There is no algorithm, your feed is what you make it there.
