I never tried PixelFed and just signed up to pixel.tchncs.de. As a client I downloaded Pixelix from F-Droid. Now I'm there with an empty feed. How do I get started?

There's a section with trending profiles and one with trending hashtags but both sections seem to have pretty generic content like #art, #photography, #photos etc.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice photographies and all but it feels really anonymous and a bit random to me. Is this the normal PixelFed experience or am I doing it wrong?
