Mastodon has hugely improved my user experience by being open to third-party apps like Ivory, which is amazing (and much better than Bluesky.) For people who want algorithmic content, presumably third party services could handle that problem as well… except that the Mastodon community has been pretty opinionated about not allowing content search an aggregation at a project and instance level. This sort of from-the-top hostility makes that kind of extension into a risky project.
