@darius I understand not wanting trending type content, and my preference is still to look at my home feed of course, but I like having an explore page to find new people to follow, perhaps interested in topics other than the topics the people I follow are boosting.

Regarding the second part, I was under the impression that posts become trending with amount of boosts/favorites, and since we only have a few users + favorites arent federated, the explore page will stay empty for a long time.
