What do you think about creating a voluntary "discover system" for sharing (linking) other people's photos and accounts?

Reasons behind this idea:
1. often, by chance, I discover good photographers and I'm like: "how have I missed this until now?"
2. boosts/reblogs don't work;
3. the Discover page only shows the top accounts all the time (same 7-8 people??). Which is great, they take briliant photos and deserve to be there. But it's not a Discover page, is it? It's a TOP/Trending page.

My thoughts so far:
1. Come up with an hashtag and make it a weekly event (like caturday, doorsday, monochromemonday...you get the idea);
2. Publish a post with links to fediverse photos/accounts we like and keep it there for at least 48 hours;
3. 100% voluntary, no pressure, just giving back to the community.

What do you think? Is it a stupid idea? How to improve on it?
Let me know in the comments.


RIP Yellow Mug btw, who died in the sink last week πŸͺ¦

That's a brilliant idea! πŸ™ŒShould we also create an image we'd all use for this, so people would spot it in their timelines? Text-only posts don't work on Pixelfed and posting one of our own images to promote others feels a bit off, doesn't it?
I knew you'd be on board πŸ‘€ Or better, I hoped you'd be on board, The Hashtag Master of Pixelfed. Any idea for the hashtag?
Actually, you made a good point there. Posts would certainly be more recognizable in the feed. My graphics design skills are terrible though 🫀
Haha, you know I'm Team Pixelfed, always happy to spread the word! 😁
To be honest, the first thing that popped in my head was #π™½πšŽπš πšœπšπšŠπš’, but on second thought, it doesn't make much sense – just because I'm not aware of certain accounts doesn't mean they're new. πŸ€”
Maybe something along the lines of #π™·πšŠπšŸπšŽπšˆπš˜πšžπš‚πšŽπšŽπš— or #π™·πšŠπšŸπšŽπšˆπš˜πšžπ™ΌπšŽπš, followed by a link to the profile or post?
I'm not a graphic designer either, but I'm sure we could find someone to help out! It wouldn't need to be more than an abstract background and a bit of text to get the point across, like this awful brain fart here. πŸ˜‚
This works for me, it's simple and gets to the point.

Hashtags suggestions we got so far:
- #HaveYouSeen or #HaveYouMet by @meoralis
- #newviewwhodis or #scrollsafari or #peepthesepixels by @NotAHopeInHades
- #pixelsoftheweek by @Fabirucho

also tagging the other kind people who left a comment: @NYSloth and @Vexisu

I personally like #PixelsOfTheWeek and #HaveYouMet. What do you think? (No offense @NotAHopeInHades 😁)
All seem to be good, viable choices. I’m fond of the jauntiness of #PeepThesePixels. Whatever the choice, we should roll the hashtag out in CamelCase.
ok! I have a problem choosing things when there are multiple options. Which is a pain whenever I have to buy something. @meoralis @Fabirucho @Vexisu @NotAHopeInHades shall we go with #PeepThesePixels ?
TOWN MEETING! πŸ””
(I vote for whatever anyone else wants! πŸ˜‚)
Love it!! πŸ™Œ #PeepThesePixels πŸ“£
Sounds good πŸ˜„
