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?
Another #wednesday another day of work, can‘t wait for #friday to come around!

The worst is the "good night" posts, I find it so cringey.
Posts like: "Can't keep these sleepy eyes open, sweet dreams everyone". It seems like mastodon is for people that love small talk.
It‘s kinda why I never warmed up to Twitter, it feels more focused on everyone posting their random thoughts on daily life and building up some public persona.
Anyway, I do enjoy their comments sometimes showing up in threads around here so it‘s not all bad.
It's funny how you can often tell a comment came from Mastodon because the way people type is just different somehow
mastodon users always type like they got that puffed out chest looking down at you
