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?

    They are. But they’re also influenced by who talks about it, how many comments, replies, likes it has. How many people click on it. Etc.

    On mastodon is just how many people used the hashtag in a short period of time.
