Mastodon Migration Blog is replicating this good idea for the Fediverse with follow packs. These are csv files that can be downloaded and imported into Mastodon to follow a bunch of users around a topic.

I use misskey too, but I wouldn't call user recommendations the same as BlueSky Starter Packs or this. It's more of a starting point for specific topics rather than just generally popular users or algorithmically determined recommendations. Instead it's a set of lists of curated users for people to get their feed started, who will then follow more people that those users boost.

Unrelated: Maybe it's just my Japanese misskey instance and followings, but most people there just say they woke up, had a nice meal, came back from work, or just the random thought on their mind, and a lot of supporting reactions under each.

Not the same, no, but it offers enough to get people started, and keep them happy.

Which Mastodon just kind of refuses to do.
