Or you follow feeds which are set up by users to track certain topics. These can be very highly customized follows of people, hashtags, keywords, crowd tagged topics, including blocks of certain stuff. These are like subreddits or Lemmy communities.

Yeah, I saw those and appreciate the idea, but I didn’t like them, at least not yet. I just want to follow a few cat related tags, maybe some FOSS stuff, and some tags relevant to my local area. I just clicked through a few feeds related to each of those, but didn’t like any of the ones that came up. Each feed contains posts that seem totally irrelevant and I don’t understand why they’re inclined or how to tweak my feed to remove them.
For me the feeds solve a lot of problems with straight hashtags, like getting stuff that’s the wrong language, or bot spam. But I guess if you are just going for visual stuff that stuff may be easier to tolerate.
