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?

    Because it’s just an incredibly small userbase made up mostly of tech/privacy enthusiasts as of right now.

      Are tech/privacy enthusiasts known for being super into Wednesdays?

      I’d expect them to be… I don’t know, complaining about Prime Day sales today. Or taking about something remotely interesting. And I bet they are, but Mastodon isn’t finding it.

        Oh hell yeah they are. I’m a tech enthusiast, myself. Don’t even get me started on Wednesdays because I’ll never stop.
