Do you want to browse trending news items and trending links on Mastodon? Here's how to do it:

📱 If you're using the official app, click the magnifying glass 🔍 icon at the bottom and then select the "News" tab at the top.

💻 If you're logged in through your server's website, click the # Explore link at the right of the screen, then the "News" tab at the top.

Third party apps may have a different kind of interface to access this feature.

@feditips remember this only works if you are on a big server. none of this works if you are on a small one. on my single user server these areas are all empty...

@feditips To me in AU it appears mostly US news (presumably reflecting the balance in user base).

@feditips

i guess those of us using Mastodon in eg. Chrome will just have to search for #news?

Says there are 9k posts a week. ouch! ;-)

Is there a way to see what posts are taking about which news item? I've tried to search the url and no posts come up.

Question: what is the algorithm that determines the “Posts” that show up under #Explore? Where can I find info on that? I like to browse that section but notice it often groups toots by topic, causing me to conclude there’s an algorithm at work that’s more complicated than “most tooted in last hour”.
