Admittedly, I spent very little time on Mastodon. But as I remember it, there is something like a 'home feed'. And I also remember only seeing the most recent entries at the top, which is not necessarily what I would have found the most interesting. For example, I think I'd be at least equally interested in entries with engagement, where people talk about the post. Which sometimes requires some time to pass.

You're right I lost track about the precise topic, sorry for that.
