Interesting concept matt. But to be honest - the trending page isn't the problem.
The problem is that whole Steemit has one single trending-page.
And I personally find that Steemit is actually fairly similar to reddit in that regard. And just try to imagine what would happen if all subreddits would disappear and reddit would only have one single trending-page.
Chaos.
My believe is that communities will solve a lot of problems - incl. the trending-page problem.
Well that's exactly what I'm proposing we get rid of. Tags are the closest thing we have to subreddits at the moment so was just thinking people can choose what they're interested in and then see the trending posts tagged with that subject.
I'm definitely very excited for communities though!
Hm. I understand. But don't we already have tags? https://steemit.com/hot/crypto
However - creating a frontpage just for tags would be interesting too.
But honestly - I just want communities :D
What he means is that instead of a trending page that is the first clickable thing we see, the same spot to lead to a tag selection page, then to a trending page to that tag.
Tags exists, but they are a pain to browse through.
