The interesting tension here is that tools like tags.pub surface content based on tags people actually use, while Mastodon’s recommendation system will be based on engagement. I wonder which one actually leads to better discovery. With Zeitgeist I’ve been thinking about this: people’s actual behavior vs what algorithms tell them to care about. Tags.pub is a middle ground.
