Seriously? There are bots that tag each toot with the bot hashtag? For god's sake

Here's the thing though: trends are a thing that only becomes useful at large volumes. They literally became a thing only an hour ago, since y'all barely use any hashtags it will take some time for actually useful trends to emerge.

The duality of Mastodon is that I get people asking me to never implement text search as well as people complaining that they cannot find things; people pushing hard for trending topics to be added as well as people adamantly against the idea that topics could trend in any sense of the word

@Gargron Sorry to ask this silly question but where can I find this trending rank? Looked everywhere but still haven't found it yet...

@Gargron I believe you. Must be difficult. For now: Know that we love Mastodon.

@Gargron since you have implemented it we could let admins to decide (toggle on/off) if they want trends or not :)

@Gargron and this is how you become the thing you most despise. Dont listen to people, people are stupid

@Gargron I like the decision to not put the trends in a visual location that makes them highly prominent (ala Twitter).
Show threadEugen RochkoMay 31, 2018
@lordbowlich Some people think it's too prominent right now

@Gargron not against either, but I do think they should be implemented externally and independently of the instance's software choice.

@Gargron It’s like the great Connie Mack (of Major League Baseball fame) always used to say. “You can’t win them all.” ⚾️😎

@Gargron No matter what you do in life, someone will be mad. Just keep doing what you think works best and keep evaluating as you go. Its the only way to stay sane.

@Gargron You’re creating something. That’s normal feedback to get. Feature bloat vs flexibility is a constant battle.
