Great point. I'm personally trying linkblogging and following other link blogs inspired by Simon Willison [1].

The more people that do this the more we can start rebuilding networks of people we trust and still retain control over the diversity of our sources.

A few ways I do this

* In Bluesky I read retweets and comments to find new people to follow.

* I send content to friends and they send some back. I’ve found creators this way.

* Search for interesting topics, see who is generating content on those topics. Follow/subscribe if you’d like to see more.

Yeah this is super key. I think it's still possible to highlight new creators without algos, one way is to just involve more (only) humans in the process. This is what we're doing at Twigg, effectively letting users decide what gets highlighted and elevated to the rest of our members. - Too early to say how it'll play out, but it seems to be working well soo far...
