You can always unfollow the developer.
I agree interest-based recommendations would be nice, but I’m guessing that’s pretty low down on most client dev’s to-do list…
I know a couple clients are working on follower import from existing social media, which is also a nice feature.
My note was meant to illustrate that, right now, it’s helpful for new users to have a couple follows pre-populated because it makes discovery easier and you don’t see a blank feed.
I know some clients (e.g. Iris) give you a nice recommendation list when you first start.
I’m sure we’ll see a lot of improvement in the onboarding area in the coming months — things move fast around here ⚡️🤙
