Should Mastodon Potentially have a feature similar to Bluesky's Feeds?
I’ve been using Bluesky for a bit, and one feature I really like is Bluesky Feeds.
Essentially, Feeds let users organize and curate content into separate streams beyond the default chronological or algorithmic timelines.
You can follow different feeds based on interests, topics, or curated lists, which gives a lot more control over what you see.
I’ve never used Mastodon-specific solutions for this, but I know there are some related projects like:
github.com/SamTherapy/fedifeed
Customizable Feed System Inspired by Bluesky (Github)
I’m wondering if Mastodon should consider something similar—perhaps via third-party integration.
The idea would be that a user could connect their account to a service (if the instance allows it), and their curated feeds would appear right in their chosen Mastodon app, fully managed through that external service.
Would love to hear thoughts—do you think this could improve content discovery on Mastodon, or is it something that goes against the platform’s decentralized ethos?

What are you talking about? There's one Korea and half of it is occupied by an imperialist army.
Am I on .world? Why are people downvoting objective reality?
You can accept or reject the claim that South Korea is an imperialist outpost of the US. I don't care about that right now.
But you do know that nothing in OPs comment implies that the two korea's share passports or anything like that, right? Like, come on, these are basic reading comprehension skills.

Does Stalinism exist?
In fact, he did not. Stalin did not develop any other ideology, and he was well-versed in the teachings of Marx and supported their development by Vladimir Lenin. Joseph Stalin followed the idea of building socialism and liberating the working class. He built the state and the workers and peasants based on the works of theoreticians, supplementing them but not creating a new doctrine. The concept of Stalinism itself is a fabrication by opponents of both Stalin and communism in general, aimed at creating a distorted image of the Soviet leader. Marxists must remember this, not fall for lies and provocations, and educate people.

Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is "abhorrent."
The people living near Trump’s “grim reaper” of government cuts have put up signs letting him know they stand with federal workers.
The budget chief has been in the spotlight lately as Trump’s shutdown enforcer. He is pressing on with threats to permanently cut federal workers en masse during this crisis. It is part of his long-held dream of shrinking the federal government and giving the president unrestrained powers. Vought’s combination of bureaucratic know-how and hardline ideology has made him a star in right-wing circles.
But on the quiet, residential street tucked in the Virginia suburb where Vought lives, the perception of him and his role in the shutdown is less than favorable. Several homes in the neighborhood have a yard sign in the front proudly declaring: “This house supports federal workers.” That includes the house right next door to his.

There was broad consensus among a wide range of Palestinian factions and parties that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad had the authority to negotiate an end to the active war in Gaza, according to several sources who participated in the discussions. There was also agreement that Hamas alone did not have a mandate to negotiate terms that would impact what the negotiators called issues related to the Palestinian homeland.“Regarding the resistance factions, our jurisdiction is concerning matters of prisoner exchanges in return for halting the aggression, withdrawal, the entry of aid, and stopping the policy of displacement against our people,” said Mohammed Al-Hindi, the chief political negotiator for Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in an interview with Drop Site. “As for the national issues, the resistance factions are not authorized to speak on them alone, as these concern all factions and forces of the Palestinian people everywhere.”
The challenge before the negotiators was how to craft a response to Trump that would assert the Palestinian right to self-determination while persuading the erratic U.S. president to force Israel to cease its genocidal war.

Years ago I saw some parallels in history from when the Protestant Catholics wars were fought in Europe. And how only so much social change could be tolerated before reactionary forces snapped back like a rubber band stretched too long.
It gives a partial answer about why systems are run by fascist morons, and the normal checks to their power is eroded.
If history is anything to go by, and normally it rhymes, things will take decades to go from bad to worse.
