I almost never look at the app store but I popped in today in the wake of the TikTok ban and was shocked to see this.

It's a non-shitty instagram.
It's Instagram with no content or algorithm. To me it's an empty page, because I have no idea how to subscribe to things that I would like.
I tried keywords like fun, sketch, photography etc etc, but those are catch-all phrases that get too much shit, and narrow keywords are so specific, I see next to nothing.
I have the same issue on Mastodon & Loops: lack of ways to find new content.
There needs to be a Lemmy thread of interesting people to follow so I can get some use out of the rest of the fediverse... Suggestions welcome!
Thats the problem that their algo tries to solve. When you do it in scale some kind of algo is needed.
