@ivory Awesome guys! Would it be possible to get trends etc. to pull in from federated rather than just local in the future? My single user instance is looking sad 😔

@karim Unfortunately we don't have any control over that. Hopefully Mastodon makes improvements for smaller instances as we have the same issue here. 🙂

@ivory Yeah, I have a number relays pulling in from a few instances to also pull in followed hashtags, but I guess that’s the downside of smaller instances.

@ivory @karim Wanted to ask for that, too, because here on eay.social it’s just me. 😅 In Mona it‘s possible to view the trends of other instances, maybe something like this would be an option for Ivory?

@karim @ivory Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re asking for I feel like this is a lie or maybe they just don’t know how to do this because I use @IceCubesApp for Mastodon and their Trending features pulls from the fediverse and not just my instance. 🤷‍♂️

@ZeroDrek it works the same way. You are on the biggest instance. He is on a tiny one and so the results are vastly different.

@ivory @karim Perhaps I don’t understand how it works then. All I know is I see posts from across the fediverse and not only my instance under trending. How/why would it be any different from someone on a different instance if trending is showing all trending posts across every instance?

@ZeroDrek trending data is reliant on your server seeing lots of data from users on that server following other users and interacting with posts. If your server only has a couple users, there just isn’t enough for that server to have trending data.

@ZeroDrek @ivory @IceCubesApp I very much doubt they would lie about this. They either didn’t know or maybe the other apps are using a workaround.
