You need to follow people, not block. Unlike Facebook or X there is no strong algorithm (although feeds are technically custom algorithms, but they're mainly lists of people or posts that contain certain keywords) but once you follow enough people, you pretty much only see their content, more-or-less in order.
If you don't follow enough people, your feed is filled with whatever's trending at that moment. Blocking when you don't follow anyone will not train an algorithm, it will just replace that person's content with something else.
- cma 2y agoThere are also curated "booster packs" with one click following of everyone in a category (type of artist, industry, etc.)
- TheFreim 2y agoThe booster packs, at least the ones I've found, don't help at all. I followed a handful of tech-related booster packs and more than 50% of the posts are merely political at best, rage bait at worst. I'm going to have to find a way to unfolloe everything or just not use the site.
- teamonkey 2y agoI really don't like them for that reason, but I do sometimes find them useful as a list that I can scroll down to see if there's anyone I recognise that I don't already follow.
