No algorithms isn’t a selling point to the average user. My Mastodon feed is kinda sad and boring, if I’m not on top of it I’ll just miss interesting posts that happened in the days I didn’t open the app.

Bluesky custom feeds really help with that, while still providing the chronological no-algorithm view as your main feed. It’s just a more interesting experience for people that aren’t chronically online.

Follow hashtags, not just people. That makes your timeline much more interesting.

Whatever interests you! Personally I'm following hashtags related to board games, specific programming languages, etc...
