Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don't we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?

I found this website that created a map of reddit with different countries for different topics and I thought it would translate to lemmy because instances sort of do this already really well.

People say they have problems with discoverability. A map will help people find the content they want faster.

You just search what you like. I'm not following how you need to discover?
