pieceofthepie, 
As I scroll through my feed seeing the same old faces (love y'all) I've come to the realisation that my subscribed hashtags are doing very little.
Guess that's a "running my own" instance thing. 😢
I've got relays, but those seem to be mostly made up of other small instances. relay.fedi.buzz could have helped but doesn't seem to add anything new.
#Discoverability seems hard work if you're not on a big instance. My posts feed up, others don't feed down all that much.
