Thanks both. I do follow a few people I found through Discover, but I follow them from Mastodon instead since that’s where my short form feed is. I tend to follow blogs through RSS, but have to find them first.
The timeline comment was because I read this thread, which goes off in various directions but the crux is that long-form posts are also treated worse in the timeline view and this is apparently on purpose and unlikely to change.
Which is fine, it’s not exactly a large audience here and I’m not bothered about my own posts being seen. It just would’ve been nice to have a way to find other blogs on here to read myself! But I will live 
(If anyone does want to give recommendations I enjoy blogs from fellow fibre crafters, makers in general, gamedev stuff and also interesting travel blogs to live vicariously through)
