So I made a Pixelfed account, and there seems to be a lot of slop/bot accounts. The posts in languages other than English don't bother me, just have been muting them as they come up as I'm a dirty monolingual. There are so few accounts where people post photos of themselves which sketches me out a little, lots of photography accounts with a SHIT TON of posts but 0 engagement. What has been yalls experience with the wider Fediverse, and do you have any recommendations for how to go about curating my algorithm? From what I've seen the Fediverse as a whole supposedly has 20 million users, Lemmy has been my main form of social media since the Reddit API debacle, though I haven't touched the rest of the Fediverse. There seems to be a lot more engagement here with quality posts/discussions, and we only have 50,000 active users. Is it worth going through the slog on the global feed on Pixelfed to find users I'm interested in, if so what's the best way to go about that?
Btw Piefed has a feature where you could blur posts by bots. Does that exist on Lemmy or the one you have?
Anyway, I usually browse for the ones i subscribed to but i do check out from all fediverse to see if there's any new ones to subscribe to. I don't see any recommendations or algorithms here.
