The only reason why no company could take over TikTok is their algorithm, its the worst yet the best part of the app, since you only see stuff you like, without having to search for similar accounts. I’ve been feeling lonely on the Fedi compared to other socials

    Yeah, discoverability is work on Fedi, unfortunately most people would rather consume algo content from a bad source then work to find good people to follow.

    Everything is open, I suspect if we REALLY wanted to we could make an indexing service to help surface content based on preferences, but then that's a high value target for corporate America to farm. Also it would be pretty expensive to pay for it :)
