I've said this a bunch of times, but Mastodon's use of a chronological feed is what kills it. What it really needs is for the default tab to be a "trending" tab, cause that's what users want to see.
Yeah, most people aren't on social media to see "what their friends are up to," they're there for the memes, the culture, the brands (including pop artists), whatever the latest "thing" is. Mastodon doesn't have any of that, or at least it's very hard to find.
