How do you find content on fedi? Do you use any algorithm tools you recommend?

Rn, I check https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows (a mastodon acct that recommends interesting accounts to follow), and https://followgraph.vercel.app/ , an algorithm that shows you people your following follow on Mastodon.

Aside from that I stumbled upon things which is always fun but I wish there is an easier way to find interesting things without always manually searching and digging through results.

    To be brutally honest, I have only the slightest inkling as to what it actually is - I was just looking for a Reddit alternative. I signed up, entered my credits into the Boost android app and here I am. It’s liked the Reddit experience I miss from years ago, except with less content but nicer people.

    I browsed the global feed for a few minutes every day and, if I saw something I like, I followed.

    After a few weeks, I had a feed.

    Now, most of my discovery is when someone I follow reposts.

    If I ever get bored of my feed, I can always trawl global again.

    How do you find content on fedi?

    Purely by chance. What I like most about the “Fediverse”, as little as I care for the word, is that I keep stumbling across new accounts, communities, and posts that I never expected. That’s why I don’t think much of “recommendation lists”. They’re always subjective and prone to forming filter bubbles.
