I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there's a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I've blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy's, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country's Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

I think this is a problem with the Fediverse in general.

Search Kendrick Lamar on BlueSky and it's filled with people celebrating it, breaking down different aspects of the show, and making memes. Search the same on Mastodon and you get news articles about the show and the occasional personal post. A majority of the posts have 0 engagement on most of the posts.

There's indeed only one post on !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz with 25 votes and 0 comments

I think that's more mastodon's flawed search than anything. Cause it'll only look for the specific term, so if someone don't use Kendrick's full name, it's not gonna show up. Or if you look by tag, you won't see much anything cause no one tags half their stuff

That definitely hinders discoverability. My feed is basically a depressing mix of climate change and politics.
