Would something like an in-client dedicated discovery tab that's basically just a hashtag directory be feasible? I have no idea if thats realistic, I'm just a user. Terms could be static and generic so long as they cover a broad array of topics. Static would probably be better than intuitive to avoid the trending trap, but maybe rotate on occasion to help combat phrase capture. A search function could help people narrow in on their interests.
I know global feed offers full search.(at least on the client I am using) but that whole feed is honestly a bit much for first exposure. Something with a softer landing would be nice. When I joined, the first thing I did was start poking buttons to see what does what...world feed made me think wtf and back out of it.
I'm also thinking I just interjected myself into this convo randomly. Apologies 💜
