People using their communities to link to like communities because the fediverse/thrediverse is so vast and it’s not as easy to navigate? Maybe, eventually finding a way to consistently open links to other instances/services in a way that opens it in your preferred instance/service (some sort of protocol or extension). Our profiles on lemmy and kbin are even social media themed, it’s almost like MySpace days. It’s so interesting how cyclical things are sometimes. What do you guys think of my theory? I’d love to hear, even if you think I’m wrong!
I think we’ll eventually need some kind of suggested content feed available for a low effort method to expand interests. I have been using the all feed to discover new stuff but I haven’t subscribed to new stuff using All in the last couple of weeks. I usually search a few times within subjects I’m actively pursuing at any given time, but I am unlikely to search for the more peripherally entertaining type of content that I may really appreciate if it is suggested based on peer networking only.
One great way is browsing an instance’s communities, as the instances often have a specific theme as well these days. Like programming.dev
