Discover feeds, if they try to be actually relevant to the user, can be a great tool for finding new people to follow and help keep the following feed fresh. I primarily follow artists on Twit-alikes and it’s how I once upon a time used it on Twitter and now use it on Bluesky.

A discover feed that’s not adversarial isn’t strictly necessary but it’s a significant selling point.

My brother is an artist and he's looking into an alternative to Insta.

With the US going full into homophobia, Christianity and xenophobia it's time to divest from American social media.

I still do this on Twitter and the "For You" feed works great.
