I love the idea of social media alternatives in general, but one of the big hurdles with any social network is discoverability. It's one thing to publish my thoughts on a site like this, but if nobody sees it (and I can't find other like-minded individuals), then I might as well just be shouting into the void.

A lot of people hate the For You section of Twitter, but one thing it does (or did) exceptionally well was expand your social circle just a little bit by showing you people and tweets that you may want to interact with even if you aren't following directly. Similarly, TikTok's For You page allows for a ton of discovery.

Any thoughts on discoverability with respect to microblogging on Starlo?
