I have been enjoying FeedSeer for better Mastodon link surfacing. It generates a custom news feed based on accounts you follow (Mastodon generates the same trending news for your entire server so it's less customized to you specifically). They have recently introduced a paid tier that I plan to support.

news.feedseer.com/about

Getting ahead of the replies: I believe this works via the Mastodon API rather than ActivityPub, so if you're not on Masto or a fork thereof you're likely out of luck.

@darius lol, the thing I wanted searchtodon to become, the tech will be super similar, but somehow this is ok? đź«

@janl I see what you're saying but the key differences are that it doesn't enable search as a verb, and it only surfaces links to things - I can't use it to find a specific thing someone said. Ultimately it's not about the tech on the backend (which is basically the same!) but what user actions it enables

@darius of course of course! I’m just still raw from my experience. It’s just that the double standard is so baffling. As soon as you don’t say search, it’s fine. The person running this still built “a fediverse scraper”. Ah well. :)
