I’ve had a look at the trending/explore page a few times now. Every time I do, it’s like 80% politics, most of which is American politics.

Le sigh…

@kev I might be on the "wrong" server, but at least it's European and not trending on US politics like it was on Twitter. 😅

@Tommy I try not to mute as I'm the admin of this server, so I want to see as much as possible.

@kev Not any better on the new trending page in Ivory either.

spiritedpause,

@robb @kev the trending feed is generally aggregated by what your instance is seeing trending both locally and with federated instances. It’s not curated by the app developers.

@spiritedpause @kev Yeah I get that I wasn’t blaming Ivory per se. It’s just a result of how we define “trending” which is usually politics sadly.

@robb @spiritedpause I actually didn't know that. I just compared and the "tending" page on Mona is identical to the "Explore" page on Fosstodon. I (wrongly) assumed it was something the app developers created, but clearly not.

@robb I wonder what they're using to collect this info. Number of favourites in X time maybe?
