One of the things blue sky does well is it's custom algorithm and starter packs. Both get a lot of people working on the platform day 1. Hour 1 on a platform will make or break it. And it feels more organic to find people/things to follow because it's part of your feed 5 minutes in.

Piefed actually does something similar by asking you what you like, then giving you entire categories with similar communities. If Lemmy has something like that, it would greatly benefit the platform.

Reddit does the same and is actually something Lemmy should be doing as well!

here's the Github feature request for this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1807

Give it a thumbs up reaction so the devs know to prioritize it

I wonder if any 3rd party apps do this?
