I like that there's a local feed for hachyderm.io posts, but would like it if it was a bit more trending than showing newest first. Does look like there is a trending for the whole network and maybe hashtags is the way to go for scoped content? If so anyone got any good ones to follow??

I've tried to do a list of all the ways to customise your timeline in this guide: https://fedi.tips/does-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-use-algorithms-does-it-start-pushing-stuff-at-me-based-on-my-interactions

My woot* from before might help you understand how discovery works here too
Though I can't say much about how to set your timeline because Wafrn instances and app are very different from the average Mastodon instance experience (I can't use Mastodon-compatible apps/clients, but I can use Bluesky clients )

*what wafrn posts are called, as toots are posts from mastodon instances

However, this mostly works because I've been around long enough that I follow lots of people.

Bootstrapping is a problem.

But if you're on a large-ish instance, it's fairly close to "all of Mastodon".

On yours I think it should be fine.

There's also a "Trending" tab that's kind of like What's Hot on Bluesky, here on yours: https://hachyderm.io/explore - again, useless on mine, so I use https://mastodon.social while logged out if I want to check that one or hashtag feeds. The downsides of a personal instance 🙂

Hachyderm is plenty big, so you should see a good amount of posts for popular hashtags. If you want more, you could try looking into hashtag relays, e.g. https://tags.pub

Custom feeds curated by things other than hashtags are mostly experimental, e.g. ongoing work by @toddsundsted.

On Mastodon, for timeline curation you should also try lists. 🙂
