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?

    Good god. The number of people whining on this thread that Mastodon is solo boringggg.

    Its not.

    You are.

    Within 2 weeks there,I had my feed filled with news intelligent hot takes and links to cool blog thought pieces. Without the snark and baitshit that was most of twitter.

    Get a grip. Learn what a hashtag is.

      Yeah I have a lot of people that I follow that provide me news, cool tech, black history, furry fun times, art, and just sillyness. Maybe the tags aren’t what OP wants, but the idea is that they should then search tags that they DO want regardless if “popular”
