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?

    Probably lack of marketing. It just is what it is. If you want to see what the latest #dance is or #icebucketchallenge, that’s probably on TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter…it’s easier for influencers to monetize their content.
