As a new user, I’m enjoying Mastodon’s vibe so far but the one thing that is a letdown is the trending hashtags. I’ve been checking them regularly over the past couple of weeks and it seems like they’re pretty much always like this.

Even on days with big news stories, people on Mastodon are only talking about what day of the week it is like company employees on some internal message board?

Is there anything that can be done to liven them up a bit?

    It‘s kinda why I never warmed up to Twitter, it feels more focused on everyone posting their random thoughts on daily life and building up some public persona.

    Anyway, I do enjoy their comments sometimes showing up in threads around here so it‘s not all bad.

      Yeah same, it feels like being in a group chat with strangers. I’m glad it’s an option for those that want it though.

      It’s funny how you can often tell a comment came from Mastodon because the way people type is just different somehow
