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?

You sound like you might enjoy TikTok more.

Yeah it's either useless boring small talk on Mastodon, or zoomer tik tok. Absolutely no middle.

*useless only if you have no interests. There's plenty of people talking hobbies and interests. If you're just shooting shit, I agree, it's boring. And no, there's no middle. Maybe Instagram is the middleground?
