I think the main method of discovery is through your network, and through your local instance. Federated timeline tends to be chaotic, but I definitely like reading my local timeline on my regional masto instance. But I believe that was the intention on the design, no 'trending', no algorithm, just the people you follow.

Yeah, I unironically like trending sections and algorithms, at least to some degree lol I understand the downsides of them, but I enjoy things being shown to me that I'll usually enjoy seeing. The YouTube algorithm for example, despite how finicky it can be to work with as a creator, is very good as a user, in my opinion.
