I’ve been using Bluesky for a bit, and one feature I really like is Bluesky Feeds.
Essentially, Feeds let users organize and curate content into separate streams beyond the default chronological or algorithmic timelines.
You can follow different feeds based on interests, topics, or curated lists, which gives a lot more control over what you see.
I’ve never used Mastodon-specific solutions for this, but I know there are some related projects like:

Customizable Feed System Inspired by Bluesky (Github)
I’m wondering if Mastodon should consider something similar—perhaps via third-party integration.
The idea would be that a user could connect their account to a service (if the instance allows it), and their curated feeds would appear right in their chosen Mastodon app, fully managed through that external service.
Would love to hear thoughts—do you think this could improve content discovery on Mastodon, or is it something that goes against the platform’s decentralized ethos?

Lemmy is a forum where you explicitly choose the topics you want to read. I like that because it’s not a social media feed. It could be implemented though, but I believe it would be a waste of time.
