I like the idea of being able to following a hashtag on mastodon and have it show up in my home feed. Maybe I am just doing it wrong on BlueSky, but I couldn't figure it out. There was something with lists, but it wasn't working like I expected.
feeds on bluesky are actually a really cool idea! form what i understand, they’re meant to replace “the algorithm”: people can write and register code to curate posts for feeds, and other people can use those same feeds to filter posts (so the algorithm can be customised per user, open source, etc: it’s a choice… heck, you can have multiple so it’s multiple choices!)
that means it’s less likely someone can manipulate “the algorithm” because there’s no single algorithm! and you can filter your feed based on anything, rather than just simple things like tags
