@shalien @ErikUden @Gargron Fedi is still too rough around the edges.

For one, people start to gain traction and then it flops because why? Ans: Popular posts become super annoying, recurring in TL dozens or hundreds of times per day..... so people react by muting those users and conversations.

Little if any chance you'll see replies (to other users' threads) from people you follow show up in your TL. Great candidate for a simple "algorithm"; as it stands its just poor engagement.

Picture-only posts where most people can't view the thread, because the only place to click on such posts is a 1px tall line about 3px under the poster's avatar.

Its very sad. Years back I donated money to Mastodon, but there are still UX holes you can drive a truck through and nothing is done about it. UX isn't taken seriously here, so its mainly techies that stick around.
