Hey, @trending_bot is pretty cool. It boosts the trending posts from a some top instances. I know some people have asked for algorithmic feeds - it's certainly not the same, but it will help get trending things in your home timeline that might not otherwise land there.

I gave it a follow, but I doubt much will show up that I will have not already seen.

Unsuitable for doom-scrolling, unfortunately. πŸ™

@jerry @trending_bot I already look at "trending" occasionally so I don't think this would add anything (unless something is trending on "some top instances" but not my instance).

@jerry my Android client @Tusky has something similar, and from a brief look they're surfacing a similar set of posts (note it's an option within settings to enable both this and trending hashtags).
