I think it's pretty telling that the My Friends tab on here is mostly @status
Try following some people who are active posters, then.
Curating your feeds are your responsibility here, there's no algorithm to point you at stuff.
That's entirely intentional.
Watch the firehose, follow people who interest you. If you decide you were wrong, unfollow them, it's not a commitment.
@status The @status hasn't changed.
